Hi, I have a D5100 that has had its RGB filters, micro lenses and IR block filter removed making the full spectrum available to the sensor plus a firmware update making it a high resolution camera. I use this on my telescope mainly but the IR images are superb.
A five of proposed eight panel image of the Heart and Soul nebulae, each panel 6 x 600seconds at 2000 iso on an f7 scope.

Would really like to see a larger version of this photo.

I will post a larger version but only when I've had some clear weather to complete the other 3 panels and can take a little more care in assembly.
Many thanks everyone for looking and taking the time to comment

Andromeda Galaxy - M31

Another astronomy related project. This is a test image built from 5 separate panels. Error with the horizontal overlaps so will re-shoot as 3 horizontal and 2 vertical panels that will allow me to expand the image sideways a little as I'm cutting detail on the RHS whilst attaining proper overlaps between adjacent images...
