Todd Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · My amazing D700... I started this thread in the Landscape forum, some of you may have seen this already, if not enjoy. Hey all you fine folks, last night I went out with a friend to a dark sky and shot some more deep space images. Shown here is the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and the Pliades (M45) photographed with my D700 & NO NOISE REDUCTION WAS USED for these images. Both were single 7 minute exposures at ISO 400 and there is no noise at all...AWESOME! The scope used was a BORG Astrograph, a 4-inch ED refractor at a FL of 390mm f/4. I tracked the scope on my Celestron mount. Used the MC-36 remote timer for the 7min exp. The fact that the outside temp was aroung 40º kept the CMOS cold and thus keeping noise away. Enjoy...

jasoncallen Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #4 · My amazing D700... GORGEOUS captures! I'm very jealous of your shot of the Pliades cluster... I tried to get a similar shot with sloppy results a few days ago during the Leonid meteor shower. Must... resist... the urge... to buy a D700! Nov 19, 2009 at 05:58 AM

who me Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #5 · My amazing D700... Really nice shots. What I am more impresed about is that you have a nice telescope setup and that you have access to dark skies. I'm jealous on all accounts. Nov 19, 2009 at 06:02 AM

skyvan Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #11 · My amazing D700... Wow, when I first saw the before reading your post I thought they were some satellite images...they look like something that came from NASA. Amazing job man. Nov 19, 2009 at 09:41 PM

HapZungLam Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #12 · My amazing D700... I tried to shoot stars before but fails. I used 30 secs exposure but since the earth was orbitting all the stars leaves a tail on my picture. Drove me nuts. How did u take these!? Nov 19, 2009 at 09:52 PM

musclepics Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #14 · My amazing D700... A friend of mine took similar pictures a few years ago with a Rebel XTI. It's not that hard the results are impressive. Nov 19, 2009 at 10:58 PM

Specularist Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #15 · My amazing D700... Good stuff, Todd, but the JPEG compression artefacts look a bit like sensor noise at our end. I think these would look a lot cleaner with JPEG files around half a megabyte or more. Nov 19, 2009 at 11:11 PM

rnickl Online Image Upload: Off p.1 #16 · My amazing D700... Outstanding Todd. It's amazing how much detail you can capture through a little 4" refractor. Did you shoot these prime focus right through the scope or are you using an eyepiece to increase magnification at all? M31 seems to fill way too much of the frame for 390mm.

runamuck Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #18 · My amazing D700... I thought I saw a star the other night, but it was only a light on a plane. Both dippers are too dim to be seen anymore. But we can read newspapers on the curb! Nov 20, 2009 at 03:21 AM

kasakato Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #19 · My amazing D700... Do you have additional details about the lens? I would be interested in seeing whats required to do astrophotography. Nov 20, 2009 at 04:09 AM

Rexspangle Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #22 · My amazing D700... I think there is some sensor dust on the top corner of the first shot... in all honesty those are really interesting shots.... Nov 20, 2009 at 07:13 PM
