1st light Canon 40D modded from SGO

[shahgazer]

Despite playing catchup with some high thin clouds, bad tracking, no remote-cable, no darks, no flats and just 30sec subs... this is my 1st light with my Canon 40D modded with Astrodon filter from downtown SGO, Sri Damansara.

Tu dia... pasni ccd tu tak tinggalkan SGO dah... structure mmg nampak sangat sharp. kudos.

kat seremban cuaca dgn awan kluar masuk kluar masuk tak byk masa nak amik shot...

[shahgazer]

tracking sedikit off la.. ada drifting.. walaupun tgh atuoguiding... maybe tak balance kot setup ... atau masa bukak ccd tu, mount telescope ada teranjak sikit..   

anyway, Alhamdulillah objective malam ni untuk test 40D modded tu.. so kire all is OK dan boleh bersedia untuk Sg. Siput nanti..

Kudos. Welcome to the astrodon club.

Highly recommended.

For astrophotography , replace your stock Canon DSLR UV/IR  filter with Astrodon UV/IR filter:-D

Cheers

Not wanting to create too many threads since this session was done at the same time, I'd like to continue this thread by sharing what I got from Seremban.

While Tokey FO was busy testing his new 40Da, I was in Seremban waiting for the clouds to clear...

And when the clouds thinned a little, I took a few shots whenever possible. The thin clouds made the sky orange. Orion nebula didn't turn out to be good drenched in orange so I tried star clusters instead... Plaeides was already blocked by the neighbor's house... So M41 was chosen since the clouds gave some few seconds of opening.

Here it is then:


Single image not stacked... waiting for clear skies again...

Wah! Tak boleh tahan. Sudah banyak 'toy' di Malaysia. 40D ada, 50Da ada, QHY9 ada...... siap dengan astrodon pulak

Anyway, hasilnya cukup bagus. Hanya cuaca sahaja penghalang terbesar.

Saya rasa komuniti amatur astronomi di Malaysia sudah mula berani bereksperimen dengan gajet-gajet yang 'luar dari kebiasaan'.

Tahniah semua.

2012 - The Next Level!

Suke saya bertanya besar komuniti ini... huhuhu~ (harap tahun ni ada perkembangan)

Juga next level untuk mobile imaging setup = Astronomik CLS-CCD for Cameras with IR Filter Removed - Canon EOS Clip... last night's light pollution was frustrating...
