New toy, more astro photos


Tractor

Recommended Posts

I picked up a canon 5Dmk2 last winter and finally got a clear night to use it on my telescope.

I'm very impressed with what a couple is quick frames looked like and can't wait to do some serious imaging with it to see how it turns out.

 

Ring Nebula, C-8 at 2032mm 30sec frame at ISO 6400. I was very impressed for a single JPEG straight from the camera.

Whirlpool Galaxy, C-8 at 2032mm 30sec frame at ISO 12800. Not bad at all at about 70deg ambient temp. If I shot a few more frames and processed them I could easily remove the noise and have a nice shot.

I'm a little surprised by the picture. I thought you would have lit the cat on fire to kill it. Fag.

 

 

 

Don't cry guys....it's just Photoshop. No cats were harmed in the making of this image :p

DEVIL CAT! That would be a badass wallpaper. Tractor probably doesn't like it because you can't see terror in its eyes.

 

yeah no screaming = FAIL.

 

Very nice work though.

what telescope and adapter are you using? i was wanting to shoot through mine for when the moon was super close but was unable to get an adapter in time.

 

I use a Celestron C8 with what they call a T-adapter and then a canon EOS style coupler. Later tonight I'm gonna give the 5Dmk2 a real test by shooting the Veil Nebula through either my 70-200L 2.8 or 28-135 lenses. Depends whether the dew stays away long enough or not as its a very faint object and will take a lot of time.
