1st Light - New Toy....

[JohnP]

Good to see Chris playing with his new toys - Ha & OIII - Very impressed with results looks very promising.

I got to play with my new toy (EOS 300D) on boxing day albeit very briefly - I snapped a quick image of Orion just rising above the garden fence - Image captured in Raw format (converted to Jpeg) - 30sec exposure at ISO800 - No processing at all (except converting to jpeg). Used Canon 105mm zoom lens (approx' 165mm F/L at 35mm). Lots to learn & looking forward to playing with the new camera...



Anybody else get any new toys....?


Cheers,  John

Can't wait to play with that new toy of yours

Smart eh M42 is dead clear.

Cool!

I had a little play with the original RAW file - I adjusted the levels in PS - Image shows a lot more stars & M42 shows some faint nebulosity - I'm really pleased with the result from a single 30-sec exposure. Can't wait to have another go using longer exposures, dark frames & stacking some images. Also, can't wait to give it a go a next DSC.

Cheers,  John.

PS - I replaced originally file with new file rather than posting both.
