This was my first serious shot of the evening (Saturday night) at Lostock.
Orion neb region.
I was using Louie's (Atalas) G11 mount and his 80ED.
Camera was the Canon 20Da set at 800 ISO and 120sec exposure and incamera noise reduction which doubles the time it takes to write the file .
Levels, colour, cropping all adjustments done in Photoshop, also used Neat image to finish off.
Unfortunately a satellite crossed the FOV during exposure
I only took one shot so the trap region is overexposed.
Thanks guys, yeah ving as always your right, it's not that bad with the sattelite.
Cheers Houghy.
Your focus and tracking was good Dave, what camera setting did you use?
Nice work folks. I think In Camera noise reduction is the go simply because it removes the need to do it in software later, and I do imagine Canon has it set up so it works best with their CMOS sensors. This might be worth the xtra time taken.

Yep I agree with you T33.
The first time I tried this feature in long exposure I got a shock and thought my camera was broken....
It's well worth the time, but I seem to get a bit impatient when I'm out there under those beautiful dark skies, too eager to see the result.
I too would have used the in camera noise reduction but remember someone with high knowledge in this area saying it's not worth doing and making darks is a far better option....there was a reason but was too technical for me.
Worth a go even though it's going to cause a loss of exposure time.

I haven't edited the picture at all, just made it smaller for the site, the details were as shown
