Description

This is a test image of M51 taken from my first opportunity using a modified Canon 6D camera for the very first time. Well of course the weather was terrible and only managed 3 2 minute unguided subs

before clouds came rolling in.

This set was shot from a low ISO 400 setting. I will post a set imaged at ISO 1000 later for comparison.

I did notice that my new camera will eat up hard drive space fast. I was use to using my Canon T2i and the resolution and detail from this camera will really be incredible.

I used no darks or biases yet I still need to build up a new library with this full sensor camera.
