First shot with my Canon Rebel XT with my Ultima 8 last night, nearly full moon with fair seeing.
F6.3, unguided, PEC off. Focus assisted with a Stiletto IV. 10, 15 second exposures at ISO 800 & 1, 45 second exposure at ISO 400, no dark subtraction. Very minimaly processed in PS7. I didn't really spend much time on this one, but I am pretty pleased with the results compared to my DSI. I have a new Orion guidescope package coming from ATWB later this week for manual guiding.
