Playing around with DSLR
Just a few quick and dirty shots amongst the garbage weather with the Canon 600D.

It looks like the weather might finally be changing, may finally get to put the QHY8L into action.

Hi Ken,
These look good......one of my mates has just bought the same camera
and we're looking forward to trying it for AP.
I really like the articulated screen.
That makes it much easier when using it on the ED80.
No more kneeling in the dirt trying to check the focus.
Thanks for posting them.

Ken.

It a good bit of kit for the price and you are right the articulated screen is a big help when changing settings, focusing ect.

Good luck!

Tonight is fabulous considering the very cloudy weather and heavy rain earlier this week but - alas - I'm on outage works at the moment so no imaging until at least the end of the month.

Weather looking good here for the weekend, time for some real shots
