I never liked the undersampled look of widefield shots with my SBIG st2000xcm so I thought I'd try the DSLR route for those wide shots. 2 kid's college expenses rule out big chip CCD cameras right now! Hutech modded 350D with a nikon 180ed wide open f2.8. 10 x 5 minutes out at Anza Borrego 2-9-08. On the right side above the Cone nebula/Christmas tree cluster is OC Trumpler 5, and Reflection nebula IC 2169.
Thank you for looking
Henry

Nice image Henry. I love these wide shots because they give perspective on how everything fits together in the sky.
Cheers,
Tyler
