I tried this about a week ago with my Canon 400D and my C-11 @ f/10. 7 minutes total time with 4 subs at varing times. I hope to get it modded soon. It was breezy that night so the stars are not round. I manually guided with a 70mm refractor.

Joe,
Very cool image. I believe you got excellent results. Amazing given the breeze, manual guiding and short exposures. Great job.

Wow what a difference. This is about 9 minutes worth of data through my C-11 @ f/6 @ 800asa. Not only does it show the reds it is a bit more sensitive as a whole.
