Uhh, you're right...that is a better image... :^) But still, yours is right up there. I was out on the 17th, but devoted my time to a 60 minute exposure of the Orion Nebula with the K-3 and the 200/4 piggybacked on my Celestron 5. I was also doing variable star photometry with my old Nikon D200, and took a single, unguided, 30s exposure of the comet with it using a 50/1.8...but it does not look nice. It was 7F plus a wind chill when I was out there...a damned cold night. The D200 died after about 40 frames, but the K-3 kept going for 130 and could have done more. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
