Decided to have a play last night - Moon, Jupiter and Albireo.
Jupiter and Albireo were just dots with the Burgess and DSLR but here's the moon (hopefully)



No crop - no processing
Burgess 91 f6.6 Canon 400D and a few Stellas  ;)

Well done Mick!  That's a great first image.  The moon looked really good last night and you've captured it well.

Thanks for the comments  8)

I think focussing looks a bit iffy - shame DSLR Focus got discontinued before they set it up for the 400D

Fay

Quotewhat capture program

No capture program, just "took a snap" and stuck it on the PC
I know I can capture into the Canon program, but it hardly seems worth it - half the facilities don't work with the 400D anyway  :(
I'm open to suggestions  :)
AIP ?


Quotehow many Stellas did you put into the image
Sorry, I don't give out my processing secrets  ;)

Thanks again for the comments  :)
