LMC Attempt

With the Moon staying down a bit longer now I thought I'd have a go at LMC, the night was quite nice and I managed to get 70x3 min subs with my modded cooled 350D, and 85mm lens at f8, iso 1600.

I found it quite difficult to process, the colours being really dull looking and had a funny gradient, I hope it looks alright now, probably a bit more pink that I would have liked.

What d ya reckon??

It's greatJo. Would love to see the hi res. Cooling - signal instead of noise.

The cooled, modded camera is working out very well.

Thanks Rex, not sure what it was as I haven't got a temp sensor on it yet, I'm guessing probably -5 or something.
