George Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I wanted ideally to shoot a good HA target to get a grasp of what the modified 1000D will do but unfortunately the moon spoiled the party so had to image well away. Decided on M51 as I have not imaged this since last season.Quite pleased with the result considering the very bright moon washed skies.WidefieldAnd a crop & zoom, the modified 1000D has picked up the HA star forming regions of M51 nicely.
