Yeah the eye piece should help a hair. When the mirror is locked up during a long exposure it does not perfectly seal off the eyepiece so ambient light comes in and blooms out the sensor a bit. Makes it worse that you're probably surrounded by snow/ice which reflects light extremely well. That 24mm could be your ticket man. Don't know how long it would take to get to you or if you could even get it at all but Canon 6D full frame refurb cameras are on sale for a little over a grand right now on canons website. The refurbs are good to go and killer deal.Originally posted by CJ View PostGood point on covering the eye piece, I forgot to mention that. I said it earlier but it should be said again, make sure you remove any filters you have on the lens to prevent light aberrations and flares inside the glass. I have found the 50mm prime to be a great lens for stars, but the best would be a Nikkor nocturne.

Full frame cameras are great, but not if you have a bunch of nice glass for cropped sensors already. Making that switch is an expensive one."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Truth. That full frame with a nice wide angle on it though... Plus the newer full frames are better in lower lightOriginally posted by CJ View PostFull frame cameras are great, but not if you have a bunch of nice glass for cropped sensors already. Making that switch is an expensive one.

I just upgraded to this 7D when Canon announced the 7D Mark II back in October, so I think I will stay here awhile. My next move will probably jump to the 5D range, but I still have plenty of room for improvement before I upgrade the camera body. 2 of my 3 lenses are Lenses, so the only lens I wouldn't be able to use is my 10-22. No major loss there. I plan on going out after work today to try my 24-70mm F2.8 L lens and using the cable release for exposures past 30 seconds to see if I can't lower the ISO. I'll start a new thread with my results.
