Nice one Fay, I cant tell how good the result is - could you post a link to the full size jobbie ?
Whay are you using it at f4, I thought that lens was designed to be used wide open at infinity focus?
Robert
Don't know about the f4 Robert, could have done 3.4. probably had a brainstorm
Lovely image Fay. Very sharp stars from corner to corner.
That lens will serve you really well. Looking forward to what you get in France!
Mark
Nice image Fay, I'm with the other guys you should leave you appature wide open, probably the best way to get lucky in France.
Chris
oh thanks for that, did not think you would like it. I am outside with Canon, but Moon will be a big problem & the gales.
With a small chip like the Atik you won't see any problems with the lens wide open so go for it !
Great image Fay. The contrast shows the shape of the nebula clearly. When you lot get back from Les Granges there are going to be some stunning pictures.
Thanks Duncan, hope you had a good holiday
The holiday will be good until until Monday Fay! The wonders of modern life, even the French have broadband ;).
