trying the Sac Mintron on some deeper space objects,
Zenithstar 80, no barlow and single frame with no processing, it was early in the night with a fair bit of light pollution, with better conditions and the new colour filter wheel l think these cameras have a lot of potential.

DOH!...Sorry Mick i must have bumped my head somewhere after answering your thread on the 350d. i was thinking that you took that shot with the 350d until i re-read it after replying

Still a nice shot though!!

No worries Mick!!
I'm only still a beginner and learning with the 350d and photography in general but if there is anything i can help you with i'd be happy to do so.

Then again, you might be able to help me!

Great camera, you'll love it!!!
