Thanks Mark. ISO-1600 is my max on the 450D.

This was my best shot of Orion and Lovejoy this evening, from a variety of poses/shots taken. Canon 450D, 13 seconds, 18mm, f/5, ISO-1600.

Very photogenic. Looks like a nice dark sky you have there but there's a bit of a glow to the left - is that Orpington Tesco ?

Thanks. Otford recreation ground. There was an external light from a nearby building.

Will have to try that location out when my replacement star adventurer arrives.

What was wrong with Star Adventurer Robert?

RobertM · Jan 09, 2015, 18:28:32

Sticky and stiff RA axis.
