Here is an over processed image I took last weekend. This is only 2x3 minute exposures so the data is really thin. It starts to show the dusty nebulas that run all over the field between the Horse Head and M42 and beyond. I plan to add more data later but this was a test image of sorts to see how well my old Olympus Zuiko lenses worked with my Canon 400D. I used a Olympus 200mm f/4 lens (stopped to f/5.6) for this image.

Joe,
Wow! That is gonna' be a killer combination. Amazing detail with that very, very, very wide field. Can't wait to see more.
