Next time I'll go with 800ISO and bump it up one and just go with longer exposure times. It'll do 1600/3200 but Orion is a pretty bright object so I'll probably see how it goes one session at a time. All in all I'm pretty happy with this.Him I own the same camera and I have done all sorts with it ( though your astrophotography is much better the mine) the lucky bit with that camera is that the increasing the film speed doesn't affect the graininess much. Can you get canis major is on a canon rebel?
I don't have a guidescope or anything. Just the telescope, a field flattener and the camera with my tracking mount.
Canis Major is a pretty bright object. If that's a request then I'll happily shoot it next time I'm out if you would like. Even through the LCD real time view I'm able to see the stars at the core of orion, albeit faintly, which is nice since I use those as a focus point and focus the telescope based off of those at a 10x zoom.
