First light with self modded 1100D

[JAS]

After waiting an age I finaly managed to get out and try my modded 1100D.

M33 was shot over 3 nights during a 7 day period where I was plaiged with guiding prolems that are sill not properly sorted . I was gutted as this was the first time I had attempted 20min subs, and they were going well.

The Horse and Flame was shot on Friday night between the clouds and rain showers, I had to cut the exposure time due to a white wash effect on the subs, I assumeed to be high thin clouds that I couldn't see, but I am glad I persisted.

M33,

3x1200 sec subs (before the guiding messed up)

17x600 sec subs

ISO 800

CLS clip in filter

15 flats

15 Darks

15 Bias

Attempted to process in CS5.

Horsehead and Flame nebula

2x600sec subs

20x400sec subs

ISO 800

CLS clip in filter

15 Flats

15 Darks

15 Bias

Processed in CS5

I am happy with the results, this is my first attempt at eather of these targets.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome

Jason.

They are both fantastic shots! nice one:)

[Coco]

Very nice indeed, the horse heads very smooth! Id love to have a go with the M33 data

[Gina]

Great shots Jason

[Martin-Devon]

You've got 2 really nice images there - excellent work with the modded DSLR

[VigdisVZ]

Very nice, great job! Thanks for sharing.

Are those from the 200PDS? What coma corrector do you use?

[StuartJPP]

2 very nice ones there, hope I can get something like this with my freshly modded 1100D.

[Daniel-K]

that horse head is a belter what a difference the mod does

[JAS]

Hi, Thanks for the kind words everyone

I am happy with both, and the difference the camera mod has made.

Both shots were taken with the 200PDS and a Skywatcher coma corrector. I would put the file for you to have a go with Guy, if I could find somwhere to host it?

Good luck with yours Stuart, I didn't realise how much diference the mod had made until it came to processing.

Jason.

Yup great shots there

[SJJ]

Two very nice images.

[Cloudwatcher]

Excellant results with the modded camera.

Hope you don't mind my having a go at reducing the red background in the M33 image.

Not a brilliant result but it does show some of the potential the image has.

Nicely done Jason - camera is working well

[JAS]

Dont mind at all Cloud hater, the red did not show on my screen at home! Looks like I will have to calibrate it and have another go.

Stunning images. Love the horse head shot. Very smooth indeed as mentioned before. Well done. I can't wait to get my camera modded.

[JAS]

I did the camera mod myslf Raga, with the Badder filter. It was well worth the effort.
