Description

This was one of my bigger disappointments. So much so that I have had this in my staging area for months trying to figure out how I can “fix” the banding and lines. This was close to 12 hours of integration time and I’ve pretty much given up on it (for now at least). This is a summer target for me and in mid-Ohio that means nights where your EXIF temps on the Canon 60D gets upwards of 70+ degrees-hence the lines and bands. Was using a cooler that I built but it wasn’t working well enough for me. I could get the EXIF to ambient which on many nights was around 70-72F. This was the final straw. I bought the 6D this past fall (2017). So....you probably guessed it, I’ll be giving it another try (maybe) this summer with the new camera. Wish me luck!
