Rosette after modding my canon 350 today

[RikM]

Nice work, the mod really does help increase Ha response. I still don't think I will mod my 1000D though.

Thanks Rik Gina and Spikey are also doing the mod if you were considering it is a risky mod but worth it on a cheaper camera.

What would be another good nebula to try that is about the size of the orion nebula?

Hi QM - How about the Monkey Head Nebula NGC 2174 Bags of Ha in there to give your camera a good road test. Looks like you have good views of Orion so it should be in view for you. Your 200P with your 350D has a FOV of 1.27 x 0.85 so I think it will fit in nicely (think its about 0.66 degrees - but could be wrong there)

Cheers John

Great result QM - both with the camera and the image!

Cheers Yes indeedy, those screws are tiny had to use a big magnifying glass. Cant wait to get out there again. What would be another good nebula to try that is about the size of the orion nebula?

Maybe you can try IC410 (Tadpoles), the heart nebula is still available too. But time is running out for MW targets as galaxy season is upon us (and hence less Ha to grab).

Thank you every one, Well I hope this thread has encouraged people to get the mod done it really was worth it for sure. Thanks for the suggestions for other nebula as well I will give that a try soon as I can get out of baby sitting duty's this evening. Baby sitting or stargazing, mm that's a hard one..
