Hi!

Thought I'd like to show my first efforts with digital astro imaging.
First image is classic M42.
Some information:
Telescope: Orion StarMax 127
Camera: Casio QV-3500EX
Exposure: 30 s
ISO: 180
Eyepiece: 32mm

Dark frame subtracted,
2 images combined
Levels adjusted, noise removed with Photoshop.

Got my Digiadapt from Scopetronics (http://www.scopetronix.com/otherdigcam.htm) last week and must say that I'm quite pleased with it.
Some more images at:

Any critics/improvement ideas are welcome.

Greetings
Einari
