Description

This is a wide field image taken with a full spectrum Canon 450D using a not so good Tamron 17-55mm f2.8 lense. The lense was stopped down to f5 to reduce distortion. The final image is made up of 10 x 90 sec subs, shot at ISO1600. Camera cooling was not turned on, sensor temp was 18C, hence the noise. Camera was sitting on a CGX mount (unguided).

Processed in DSS ( with Darks and Bias frames), and Photoshop CC.

This is a test image to be used to compare a Nikon D5300 in upcoming test.
