Albireo in Cygnus

[Jarvo]

Whilst imaging M13 I took some test shots of stars to achieve a good focus.

Here's an image of Albireo which captured the colours in this lovely binary system.

Simple 1 second exposure at ISO400 using the 6" Mak - Cass scope with my trusty Olympus E410 DSLR.

Enjoy !!

Very realistic colour shows on my screen. Good capture.

Do you find the e410 performs well when used for astro work?

Cheers

Hi CW - The Olympus is alright. At the moment its limited by my own knowledge though I'm interested to stretch the camera to its limits. You are limited to a maximum exposure time of 8 minutes but thats not too much of a problem as I can do multiple exposures for DSO's.
