Nice.

If an Eskimo does look like that than I must say he looks very strange!

That's cool! in the close-up some of the internal structure can be seen.

Is the 450D modded, or not?

But if it's that small even with a 12" LX90.. then getting more internal structure is going to be near-impossible.

Been sometime since you were active Kochu!
And I didn't know the Eskimo is in Jurong West..fancy that! [smilie=bye2.gif]

Nice image ! Have not seen this visually in a long time, I think since Wira's 10" LX200. (Incidently, he called me recently to say he is back in business and waiting for clear skies!) [smilie=cute.gif]

Nice one Kochu! Seems like your back in business!
Is this the new set up you recently mentioned? If so...wonderful!

Look forward to more from the West!!

Hi Orly,

My 450 D is not modified. I think, you need much clearer skies to get fine details or a cooled camera like Kevin's for such miniscule objects. I may try on a clear night with a barlow , just for the heck of it .But with my 3 x 2 inch barlow , the FL of the imaging scope will be an un-thinkable 9 meters.

Have seen many a great shots with un modded DSLR's! So well done with your 450D. A cooled cam always helps, unless you wish to spend the whole night shooting, cooling down for 30s to 1min, shoot again, cool again etc etc..lol!

The Eskimo certainly looks cute here, Kochu! Nice set up too!
