laser_jock99 Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 Great image for a DSLR Jock Thanks- but I'm finding this modded Canon 40D very 'noisy' compared to my usual Fuji DSLR's. Seems to a huge amount of banding and colour noise I have previously not had to deal with...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe your skies aren't so bad? The narrowband filters are useful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graemlourens Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hey Jock.Yes, of course, i didn't mean its impossible I got this until now: http://www.astrobin.com/full/164664/D/Stars are overexposed, but need some more time to get that straightened out.Just far easier with dark skies, integration time just triples and quadruples with LP... can't wait my CCD with narrowband, even if it will be another challenge!Regards, Graem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
