Hi Guys, well during the week even with the Moon full, and still very high and bright, I have been experimenting, or practicing if you like with the now modded 5D. I promise this is the last Eta from me....
I seems that I have the processing in hand and, it is now time to get serious.
I know you are probably sick of Eta Carinae, but I had to practice on an object like this to get the feel of the Camera, and how it would respond to a very light polluted sky.
So here is Eta, 20 exposures at only 4 minutes each, at 400 ISO, with the Modded 5D, and the Tak 106, on the G11, auto guided, and all processing in Image Plus, with a touch up in PS2.
The Moon was a killer, but the camera performed pretty well under these conditions, please be my judge.
The first is a full wide field, un-cropped, and number 2, is a half crop of the full image,
Nice image, you did a great job on modding that 5D and the colours you are getting show it. I have a secret desire to revisit Eta as well, so you are a braver man than me
Nice work leon.
The reds are so errr Red!!! (with a capital 'R')
I like the detail brought out by the modded 5D and Tak - sweet!!!
Look forward to results from darker nights.
May well re-visit Eta in the near future too.
Received my modded 40D today, and of course it looks like the "end of days" outside now... 'P'-ing down with a capital P!! Plan to post a before and after mod comparison of the Eta region.
Arrrgggg, not another eta Leon... What happened to those tough targets? Nah, good work mate. Always a pleasurable view through the FSQ. How 'bout getting a website so we can view your pics at a better res.
Yea I know Jase, sorry, I promise I won't do it again but I had to practice on some thing, BIG... and now that it is all sorted, and I have a better understanding of the processing, I think things will be different
Now this web site that you speak of, I have considered doing some thing like that, but really not sure how to go about it.
See I'm constantly asking for assistance, but I blame that on my maturity, or old age, what ever you like to call it.
I will however look into it, as it sounds like the way to go.
. I promise this is the last Eta from me....

Surely not
Once the clouds roll away you will get a crack at some imaging,(thursday i think) plenty to choose from, looking forward to see what you can do with your big modded camera and those newly aquired processing skills.
just heard the weather Thurs, fri, sat, sun, all fine
Surely not
