Lightweight Borg

One of advantages for Borg scopes is lightweight.  Especially it should be  extremely big benefit for carrying to the mountains. Here are some examples.

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.

Panasonic GF-1

This is really good camera for DigiBorging. Good match with high-resolution optics. Looks like one of best DSLRs  I have ever used. These are easily focused with an external EVF. I will keep you updated on this camera.
