Took three 20min exposures on Fri 17 Nov of Orions Belt area at home. I was hoping to do some imaging at Snake Valley but weather and equipment conspired against that. Even so looks very promising for when Orion gets higher ealier. A bit of Barnards Loop is also visible.
Thanks all. Even though the 5DH is a very good camera I don't think I have mastered it's full potential yet. I have had it for nearly a year and images keep improving as I learn more about exposure conditions and processing methods. I had hit a brick wall with the 20D as nothing would improve the images I was getting. Just shows that perseverance with the equipment you have will pay off.
I still have to try imaging at a dark sky site. The Hutech LPR filter roughly doubles the exposure needed to get the same image as at a dark sky site. This of course depends on the light pollution you have at home.
I was stunned at how clear the skies at Snake Valley were. At home I can just see the LMC and SMC on a really clear night. At SV they could not be missed they were so apparently bright.
Definately a good start Bert, but I was thinking along the lines of the whole of Orion You know just something to keep you occupied during the daylight hours
