Wide-field Astro Imaging by Canon 5D Mark II

5D Mark II is well recognized as astro camera in excellent noise and sensitivity level although the number of pixels is increased from previous model 5D’s. As a result, users’ rating as astro camera is getting higher and higher these days. Here is one example taken by Alan Dyer.

The camera captures a lot of very faint nebulosity sections. All are beautiful!! So 5D Mark II works very well for wide-field astro imaging.
