Hi Hubert,

Lovely image. I'm very impressed with the current capabilities of the top
range Digital SLRs. One day I may be able to afford one . . . . . . :-).

I'm assuming you were "piggy-backing" on a driven mount, but can you tell me
what the sky conditions were when you took the image, i.e. how dark was the
sky, and was there any light pollution around?

Very best wishes and clear, dark skies.

Lovely!

.... as a 10D and EF 200 f2.8 owner I'm very envious of your dark skies!
There's no way I could do that from around Milton Keynes, although I'm
obviously open to suggestions.

This is a lovely image. If I were to pick a very small point I would say
there is a slight colour cast. If you were to take out a little blue and
red (or add green), this would blacken the sky and whiten the stars.

Excellent photo! Have you removed the IR filter from your camera? You
must have a some very dark skies where you took that picture.

Just you wait all you DSLR astro-photographers, my 20D is finally on
its way, so you'll soon have some new competition!

Thanks Paul, the sky was a bit foggy, but no light pollution.

Oh. My. God.

It arrived today. It's f*ing awesome. Correction: it's ****ing
amazingly incredibly awesome. It can take a dozen of the best photos
I've ever taken in a couple of seconds. I've yet to find a good reason
to use the flash: the amazing sensor, image stabilization (lens
feature) and a big lens (by compact camera standards) make flash
unnecessary even hand-held in a normally lit lounge.

The tests I've done (in a room with no lights on and at dusk in the
Peak District - it looks like daylight with a long enough exposure)
suggest this will be an awesome tool for astrophotgraphy. I'm in love.

If only it wasn't cloudy I'd be showing that Lawrence chap who's
really the daddy ;-)

Mine can penetrate cloud Tim!

Glad you've got a new toy to play with - it'll give you hours of
pleasure without doubt! Look forward to seeing some images from you
soon.
