This is my first foray into deep space digital imaging. I've seen some beautiful photos taken with digital slr cameras.
M57 taken at about 1am. ISO @ 400, adobe RGB, Super high quality, 30 seconds, prime focus w/ Meade 102ed 920mm. I took many photos but only the m57 photos were in focus. I'm going to process a stack of 5 and see if any better. You can see a lot of noise. Camera has noise reduction but I plan to shoot in raw and edit that using a black frame (not that I currently know how to do that).
The image is cropped and displayed at 100%.
Manual shutter max at 30 seconds. Bulb is up to 8 minutes but an electronic shutter release has to be used. Unforturnately I have the film slr shutter release cable.
It had a setting for color system - sRGB or adobeRGB. I saw a slight difference and used adobe. I have to read the manual.
This was taken in light polluted suburbia.
