First outing with modified 500d

[Monsween]

After purchasing a modified 500d on here I took it out over the last week or so and really happy with the results so far :). A CCD-CLS Filter has since turned up to help with the Aberdeen/Cruden Bay light pollution and of course now cloudy but keen to get back out and start properly focussing on some targets and figure out the intricacies of stacking. All of the pictures below are single images with various settings

Canon 500d modified
Samyang 14mm f2.8m (15-20seconds, 800iso-1600iso)
Canon 50mm f1.8 (30seconds, 800iso)
iOptron SkyTracker Pro

Comments and criticism are welcome as it's the best way to learn!

Woke up 30mins early to find the wind and rain gone and clear skies so used the time wisely

The Milkyway is in a lovely orientation at that time in the morning over the sea

Really really nice. Not only are the exposures technically very good but some of the compositions are outstanding   

Shows just how captivating widefield can be.
