NOTES:

I sent my Canon XSi off to Hap Griffin a couple weeks ago.  He modified it using an Astrodon filter to replace the stock Canon IR filter.  I received the camera Friday and managed to get out for some trial images tonight.  This is only one hour of 2.5 minute exposures @ ISO1600 through the ES 102mm f/7 triplet. The combination of short subs and heavy light pollution (from central Ft. Collins) makes imaging from my driveway a little difficult.  A couple more hours of exposure time and some more careful processing would have helped as well.  Knew when I started this was just a test to see how much more sensitive the camera is.  I like the initial results!  Capture & initial processing in Nebulosity, then played in Photoshop a little.
