Hi Guys,

yess. i did another imaging marathon .. . .VampStyles.....

here's the flame and horsey taken on Saturday morning. Consist of 4 x 5 mins at ISO 400 and 6 x 5 minutes at ISO 800 . I know i can do better on the processing side of things but my eyes are getting blurry

i'll post a bigger version once my eyes get abit better.

Eric, that is a fantastic shot, nothing to compain about whatsoever.
In fact I would not even be looking at a new scope. Well done.

I tend to agree with Gary,

Having a fast F4 scope for imaging is great benifit.

Using a F10 scope your exposures will have to be atleast 3 times the length to get the same detail....but if you want a longer focal length then thats the way to go.

really Nice Eric

Very nice especially for an unmodded camera too. Your fast scope and UHCS filter really works well here.

Nothing wrong with that at all.

Great shot - I thought only modded DSLRs could catch the horsey..... Really great stuff Eric....

EzyStyles (Eric) · #14 02-10-2006, 03:25 PM

cheers Lee. I had to use the UHC-S Filter. I think that helped abit.
