Greetings all

At last long I got a chance to tryout the new Astronomik EOS CLS filter last night, despite the nearly full moon.

I piggybacked the unmodded 350D, with a Sigma 70-300mm lens at 300mm (F5.6), pointed it at Eta Cass to see what would happen........ Anyway this is the result.



Looks like I got a bit of Tuttle too :-)

Hi Keith....

Yep, the Pacman was a bonus as it wasnt very evident in the 90 second subs at the time of shooting. It appeared after the stacking process!!

Sweet! I would never have thought about looking in this area of sky (nor can I recall ever making it a target - I have now! :))
