Each shot has three 2 minute exposures plus one 2 minute dark frame then stacked and processed only using PS5.0.

I've got a 5" EXT 125 and really want to try some astrophotography but just haven't had the time to get away from here. Have you tried a t-mount or just piggy back?

I have a T-mount for my A-1 and AE-1P. Did some prime focus work using slide film. Can't wait till I get one for this camera. Alot easier using digital since you can view for tracking and focus right away. "Whatever you can do to avoid Photoshop is worth it"

I agree...I love these kinds of shots, too. I've never looked through a telescope to see "out there," so shots like this really amaze me. By the way, being a Trek fan, did you catch the roast of William Shatner on Comedy Central last night? Pretty damn funny. - 5D & 60D (x2), EFS 10-22, EF 17-40L, EF 50 f1.4, EF 24-105L, EF 100-400 L IS
