November 5 2007 (The moon, M42 and Comet Holmes)

Comet Holmes taken with an 80mm refractor and a Canon DSLR camera. 236 seconds total exposure at ISO 1600 (4 x 59 sec)

The Moon taken with an Orion 5" MCT and a Canon DSLR camera. 21 x 1/8 sec exposures @ ISO 100.

This is the raw image and the processed image. This just comes to show that processing is almost as important as acquiring the image!
All images below and the above one were taken with a Celestron 80 mm refractor and a Canon DSLR camera. These are the same images but processed differently. 420 second total exposure @ ISO 1600 (14 X 30 sec).
