12x600, Atik 314L, Ha, Leitz APO 180 F4, flats. Bit windy last night, but at least the new adaptor is ok.

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?

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!

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.

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.

[RobertM]

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.

[Fay]

Thanks Duncan, hope you had a good holiday

[The Thing]

The holiday will be good until until Monday Fay! The wonders of modern life, even the French have broadband  .
