Hi Christoph. I like the wide fields too. You have captured the nebula nicely. Do you have a higher resolution image?

I notice that you took 20 minute exposures, so I presume that you are located at a dark site - the modified camera clearly makes a difference.

Hi "Astropixel",

thanks for your reply!
Here is a labeled high-res version:

The observatory is under an "average" rural sky, next cities are about 40km away,
at a height of about 600m above sea-level
(see www.sternwarte-peterberg.de).
I made good experiences with the "cls astronomik clip filter" system. I almost often use it during
astrofotography.
With my modified Canon EOS45d I can have exposure times to 20-45min (even with a "fast" telephoto lens).

Kind regards,
Christoph
