Polarie shots from IISAC

Some very quick samples from my first attempt with the Polarie. No stacking yet - just single frames with basic curves adjustment. Taken with 55mm and 135mm lenses on 30D, ISO 1600.

I need some new gear!

Morton,

Looks like you had your polar alignment down pat. Did you use the polar scope?

Top stuff -- can't wait to make better use of mine, too.

Lol. My polar alignment was rough as guts. Just put the peep hole in the general area and assumed my short exposures would be ok!
