Hi all,
First light image from the newly coated GSO 12" mirror.
75-minute exposure with Hutech modded Canon 450 DSLR.
there is a 25% reduced version here worth a look

Fantastic image, Paul.
Vivid colour and lots of detail in the nebula.
Makes me want to mod my 450D.
Well done.

Not too long at all... about 2 weeks or so including transport.

The mod. makes all the difference. I got the clear filter so I could do wideband imaging in the future ( if I decide too ). I use a 2" screw on Baader IR cut filter and it all works fine. Hutech also sell a filter which makes corrects the colour balance back to "normal" so that you can still use the camera for normal daylight/flash photography. And..... the AUS dollar is currently very high...
cheers
