Darrel, apparently there is some sort of base stand that is made that allows a sync cord to be hooked into a 430 so you can use it off camera.

or there is this, although sort of expensive:

or this, although its not very long: http://www.amazon.com/Dedicated-eTTL.../dp/B002YPMWXC

or this for wireless http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002NQH0GQ/...SIN=B002NQH0GQ

Oh yeah ... I've seen that transmitter before. One of these days (like in a year or two ), I'll start following the Strobist program -- their Lighting 101 and Lighting 102 come HIGHLY recommended. Until then, I'm more interested in getting better at composition, working with available light, playing with DOF, etc.

Went out with friends after teaching, today. Had to shoot at ISO 3200 and f/2.8 because it was so damn dark (bar, indoors, overcast and near dusk outside). As a consequence, I took some liberties in post.

Thanks. Taken with my Telescope. A Celestron CPC-800 and the new T1i. I have a separate camera for my astro shots, but I wanted to give the new T1i a try. I'm still getting used to the camera, and seeing was terrible last night, but the shot came out OK. I have gotten better, just never a full moon.
Given the temp last night, I wasn't looking to do too much experimenting. Especially after my laptop screen froze over. Went through two batteries in an hour. And the hand control on the scope went screwy due to the temp as well.
Managed to get a couple good ones. I was hoping to also get Mars, but it'll have to wait until the weather breaks. The big moon wouldn't fit in the field of view, this the stitch.
And Spectrrr offered to cleanly stitch it, but I beat him to it. Thanks anyways!

Playing around with photoshop. A pic of my granddaughter cut and pasted on one of lake Oconee. I'll figure out how to cut with smooth lines one day.

There is a "Blur" tool Ken...try using that to soften the edges.
