Description

Canon 1000d, canon stock lens 70-300mm set to 105mm, f4.5, iso1600, 6X120 second subs, 10Xdarks, 30Xbias, stacked in dss, processed in gimp.

An evening of highs and lows !

My star adventurer polar alignment was spot on and I'm very happy.

Sadly my modded 40d battery died so I couldn't use it and so I had to use my unmodded 1000d.

Then backyard Eos threw a tantrum after only 6 subs instead of the programmed 30 ! I think this was due to the computer going to sleep mode after 30 minutes!!....lesson learned there!

I am still pleased with this result despite it being a little noisy.

All comment, questions and criticism are welcomed.

Cheers,

Andy
