Taken with modded Nikon D70 on a ED80.

One set of 26*15 Sec
One set of 10*60 Sec
One set of 8 *300 Sec
5 darks of 300 Sec
15* bias

Still have to do flats.
Stacked with DSS, Aligned with Picture window pro.
Processed with CS3
I only need to do one more set of 600 Sec and it will be better.

Taken on an ED80 with a DSLR - That is just a GREAT picture.Top work.

Lovely shot. Those Nikons are great. Did you take darks?

[winensky]

I didn't know you could mod a Nikon. Great image. The 600s shots will add heaps of nebula but keep an eye on the trapezium.

Lovely image Martin.

Lovely rich colour and lots of detail.

A great result. .

Nice depth of field look about it Martin, gives it the 3D effect.

You Got To Be Happy With That Photo It Looks Prefect

[mill (Martin)]

Thank you everyone.
Craig i took darks, bias and flat frames.
Not really happy with it so i took loads of 5 second images and the 600 second images i still have to do.
That moon thing is in the way now
