Just a few singles sub of M42/43 from the Modded 1000D (Baader ACF) through the CPC800XLT @ f10 the 1000D had the Astronomik CLS-CCD clip-in filter fitted. Guided using DSI-IIc 500mm f8 lens. No processing at all of the raws other than a resize to 800x600

great 1st light on the 1000d, how difficult is a diy mod then............is it twitchy sphincter time :shock:

what length subs were they on the cpc800, as quite a lot of detail is starting to come through and with that being quite a slow scope it would be good to gauge just how sensitive the the camera is now its modded ?

stupid me i missed the subs length on your post

Well done, Billy, well worth doing the mod to get dome nice red tones like those.

Nice Peter, you'd have an amazing image with a load of those 30 sec M42's stacked up.

Are they on the baader glass? Hope they are on the lens side!!!!

Its a real struggle with a CCD to get rid of the dust bunnies, even after a thorough clean, but I never found that to be the case with the dslr, although the chip is usually safely hidden behind the shutter.
