I've never done this "turn off the camera" trick with mine and I produce great images, two of my best being the flame nebula and the dumbell nebula. Also, the amp glow on the D40 camera that I have is very minimal. I know a guy with a Canon DSLR that has much worse amp glow problems than me. It really all depends on the model you get. I'm not saying you should stay away from the Canon, but a Nikon will do a great job for astro as well. I am a Nikon user, too, and have purchased Canon in the mean time but still have my Nikon lenses and gear. The D50 is one of the best astro cams during the 6 and 8 MP camera years. It had equal, if not lower amp noise up past 7 minutes (ones that I owned) and takes fabulous photos to this day. I did finally break down and buy an XTi due to the virtual elimination of Amp Noise. This was a break through to me from Canon. Well, the 40D has the same level of performance as the XTi so I replaced the XTi with the 40D. Very impressive to say the least plus Live View. Nikon has volleyed back with the D3 and D300 but the jury is still out yet on those in my mind and I think Canon's expertise with the CMOS sensor will not be immediately overcome in a price range that works for me quite yet. Well, about the D40, I owned one for only a month and I think the IQ was better than the D50 but mine had Amp Glow in the 4 minute range which was what I heard others seeing. BUT, there was one or two people noting very good results too. Since I was not one of the few, that moved me on to the XTi.īelieve me, I will be back to the Nikon camp before long.
