Samyang/Bower 8mm F/3.5 Fish Eye Lens

[MarkS]

Was looking at the possibility of a fish-eye lens and came across this one.  It comes sold under various names - Bower, Pro-Optic, Samyang

Inexpensive, looks very suitable for astro-imaging and has good reviews:

It is fully manual (i.e. you must manually adjust focus and aperture) but this is just what you want for astro work.

Price around £240 on Amazon - look for it under Samyang.

It will only make the weather worse

How?

Wind, we already have loads,
Rain, we already have loads,
Cloud, we already have loads.

Clear skies, we already have none.


Ah, Earthquakes.....
haven't had many of those.
