| I never erase my images either, but I don't need an enormous card since I just transfer them to my computer. Once they're there and backed up I erase them from my card (this was a necessary consequence of using a 2 gig card for over 3 years).
Quote (DoctorOfSpace) Good news is you can setup the compression and quality. Where at? I haven't looked through all the settings yet, but I definitely didn't see this option among the ones I've looked through.
Here's my first Moon image from the new camera. I went a little overboard on the sharpening when processing the RAW, but even so it is a definite improvement over my old camera.

I used a 1GB card for 5 years....
Going from 1GB to 8GBs and then immediately 64GBs was pretty nice.

I haven't messed around with video much so can't remember but I saw a video of someone using the T3i and they showed all the different settings.

| Quote (Antza2) I took this picture with my phone... Be happy to have a camera on your phone (mine haven't), it's a very artistic shot
Since we are all posting shot of our satellite, this is my first and unique moon pic : I can't remember the time exposure ( few minutes ) and it was taken with a SRT101b last summer in greece.

Quote (Solaris) perfect timing with the nice colors who goes with the autumn for testing it. I still have some nice pictures from last autumn that I have not processed yet

Quote (HarbingerDawn) but I think international shipping might not make that the best option for you Surely, but I may have chances to get one of those until the end of the year.

| Here are the first pictures of Jupiter taken with my new camera (finally enough resolution to resolve cloud details!)
Unannotated version:
Annotated version:
As before, the image of Jupiter is from a different exposure than the image of the moons.

| My second attempt at capturing the Moon. Definitely not as successful as the first (I doubt any others will be either):
Quote (Solaris) What was the time exposure? 10 seconds (only possible because of 12800 ISO speed).
Quote (Solaris) It seem a little reddish but that kinda procure a nice feeling The overall reddishness of the image is due to the high ISO noise. The color of the nebula itself is natural color (compare with this image)
Quote (Solaris) Is the image edited? It is edited somewhat for contrast and brightness, minor things like that to help resolve the nebula better. I also reduced the redness of the noise, though it is still visible. I could have done more edits but I was eager to share the image

| Quote (HarbingerDawn) 12800 ISO Wow, max I ever used is 800 , and it was awfully noisy..
Did you tried to point your camera to the Pleiades? or is it too far?

| Quote (Solaris) Did you tried to point your camera to the Pleiades? I have photographed the Pleiades, but it does not look very spectacular. Next I want to try to capture M 31 and M 110, and M 81 and M 82, and I might try to capture M 51 and NGC 5195 if I can.
I want to try to build a barn door tracker soon too, so I might be able to dramatically increase the quality of photos of deep sky objects, though light pollution will still be a limiting factor.
