tbird Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I couldn't resist a crack at M42 this morning, Canon 1100d, 300 Sigma lens on cg5. Still learning my way round the camera, focus seems to be tricky at the minute. http://i257.photobuc...66/orionm42.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 That has come out really well Paul. A lot of faint wispy detail visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 Fortunately the moon had dropped nearly behind the bungalow, but the sky was still very bright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I was up early this morning and the sky was lovely. Even Sirius was only twinkling a little bit. The air must have been very steady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Smashing pic Paul - it's very crisp and sharp - tiny tad of trailing so PA might need the once over - a few more subs and I reckon the running man would come out clearly too (The cameras begging for red filter mod) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAZ Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Nice one Paul. Apparently everyone likes the Bahtinov masks for focusing, simple, cheap and accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Nice one Paul. Apparently everyone likes the Bahtinov masks for focusing, simple, cheap and accurate. Yes I've got two, one for the sw150p and another for the MAK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 For a shot taken with just the camera + lens that is impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 I bought a 2nd hand film camera with a couple of lenses with it on ebay a couple of years ago. I was pleased when I found a pentax k - canon eos adapter on the net so I can use the old lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyboy1970 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Thats come out well. Batty masks on camera lenses don't work quite as well. Point your camera at M31 with a 200-250mm lens and you'll be dancing happily round the garden. PS. in photobucket if you hover over the box that says img code then paste it into the forum and your image will appear.
