Considering the trouble it is to manually trigger the exposures without proper camera control, I am surprised I stuck it out to take 40+ subs.  Since 30 seconds was the longest I could program the camera for I simply maxed out the ISO and took a lot of subs plus a dozen darks.  There is still way too much noise in the resulting frame.  Still, the ISO 12,800 frames are not all that bad, better than I expected.  If this camera had remote control it would be a decent little astro camera.  Longer subs and a lower ISO would deliver decent results.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6566\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6566\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/darkerview.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/ngc1976-20121124.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/darkerview.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/ngc1976-20121124.jpg\" alt=\"NGC1976 The Orion Nebula\" title=\"NGC1976 The Orion Nebula\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6566\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6566\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Orion Nebula with and EOS-M, 40x30s exposures @ ISO12,800, AT6RC and 0.8x focal reducer, a set of 12x4s exposures used to reveal detail in the core.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first astrophoto taken with the EOS-M.
