Description

Running Man in the clouds, NGC1977 in all its glory. I took this with a Canon T3 unmodified just to see how it compares to my Canon 40D (modified).

I am mightily impressed with the Canon T3, it has much lower noise than the 40D (21K hot pixels detected vs. 220K with the 40D). If I did not have a modified 40D and 60D I would modify the T3 and use it.
