I imaged C/2006 M4 SWAN with my Canon 20D and EF 75-300 mm lens at f/8 and my E-160 f/3.3 6-inch astrograph with SXV-H9 for similar times. I was quite surprised at the results! The DSLR subs were 19 x 2 minutes while the cooled CCD’s were 19 x 1 minute – but the cooled CCD was binned 2x2.
I used simple JPGs rather than RAWs with the DSLR so my imaging technique is not optimal. I haven’t figured out how to use the Canon software to download RAWs yet.
