Originally posted by Dr_who I've been wanting to get out and take a stab at the Rosetta Nebula for soem time, but it's been over cast here for a good month :S Hope for some clear skies. Your picture is great! Just out of curiousity, how long approx. were the 32 light subs?
Thanks for the note. I've been wanting to get after the Rosette for years. It was only with the recent testing that I'd had the chance. Now that I'm staring at rain clouds for the next week I'm glad that I did!
The subs that I use are 10 minutes at 400 ISO. I use this setting to build a library of darks to get my lights calibrated within 1C. I'm always adding new samples to the library when I get the chance. There's lots of non-linear amp glow on the K10D and having a good library helps a lot. From what I've seen on the K5, there isn't as much amp glow so the rigors of calibration that I've had to use with this camera aren't as required.
