So, I turned my 5D Mark II to the heavens for 600 seconds

[Octane (Humayun)]

1x600 second exposure.

ISO-1600.

Looking forward to culmination.

Humayun

Lots of detail there Humayun.
Stack abuot 10 of those and it will be perfect.

[toryglen-boy (Duncan)]

some beautiful colours in there H, nice one!

[DavidU (Dave)]

What a beauty ! would love to see a stack of 600's

Very impressive Humayan, did you use any sort of FR/Flattener?

[jase (Jason)]

Vivid colours Humayun. Quite an amazing piece of work given a single sub exposure with very little noise present. So what was holding you back from going long? Would have produced a noteworthy end result.

Fine effort H, certainly some great colour and detail in that single shot, well done indeed.

[h0ughy (David)]

can you post the full frame shot

[AlexN]

Holy hell dude! Mod that 5D mk2

Great looking image for 10 minutes of un-calibrated data!

One question? Why with the diffraction spikes??

My thoughts too! Were's the noise
What surrounding temps were you imaging at ?

Stop teasing Humayun!

Great shot.

Magnificent H, only 600 seconds, WOW....

[multiweb (Marc)]

Top shot! Lovely colors. If you get that kind of quality in one shot you might consider doing a big mosaic of it.

Yeah - fantastic Humayun. I saw it in its raw state as soon as you captured and showed it to me. I like it even better now. Very promising indeed - and can't wait until you throw a bunch of exposures of varying lengths at it.
