  1. I paid £109 direct to DHL when they made contact about Duty and VAT etc From order direct from ZWO to UK delivery was 3 weeks, beginning of December
  2. I have one of these that i purchased months ago, the box that it actually arrived in hasn't even been opened, let alone the actual products own box. Due to personal circumstances i am looking to sell. What would be a fair price to ask for a quick sale? Many thanks
  3. Very nice, what lens was that? Might see if any lurking on ebay
  4. Many thanks I know standard Samyang lenses have a good reputation, but do you have any knowledge of there mirror lens?
  5. This? Urth Lens Mount Adapter: Compatible with Canon (EF/EF-S) Camera Body to M42 Lens https://amzn.eu/d/4SBgfar
  6. So do I look for an EF to M42 OR M42 to EF? What way around, sorry if that's a stupid question.
  7. Have been offered this, Samyang Mirror Lens, 500mm f8.0 w 2x Convertor M42/ T Mount (#H1/21). Please see attached image. What would I require to fit this to my Canon 6D?
  8. Hi What is the next 'step' after imaging with a DSLR and lens (135mm) in my case? Do I go to an astrophotography camera, scope etc Where do I go next? Many thanks
  9. Any opinions on this? Only caught my eye as it does have more than 1 exposure setting, unlike most I have seen. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304660860095?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=pYaXG5c7SOa&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=xekd7DxnSz6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  10. I have no objections to cropping into the image. Just thought I would try something new during the month when the moon would cause issues with other areas of astrophotography.
  11. Hi Apologies if this is a stupid question. Looking for a lens for my 6D that I can use for lunar images. I understand that I need at least 400mm focal length? I don't want to venture down the scopes route yet, I do possess a Samyang 135mm F2, but guess I need something more substantial for moon shots? Thanks in advance.
  12. I already possess a 135mm Samyang F2. Was after something larger in regards to the focal length,around 500mm.Happy to hear recommendations
  13. Sorry to jump on the thread, but have been considering something like this myself in 500mm, looking on ebay I see such a variety of prices. For instance why is this so cheap? Would it work for say lunar photos or andromeda or similar. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165500634226?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=sNyqHN0JT6O&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=xekd7DxnSz6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Hiatus over

    Make sure you claim any and all benefits you are entitled to for you and your wife.
  15. Many thanks, is there an Android app that would also do the same?
  16. Many thanks for the reply, i am fairly familiar with the known and some of the lesser known constellations. I do have Sky Walk and Sky Safari as well as a few others including Stellarium. I can star hop to a degree, most recently when i was watching for the Draconids meteor shower. I do also have a green laser pointer mounted in the hot shoe and thats an added bonus. Agree with what you say about the objects i mentioned, i have yet to put Stellarium on my PC, but is there an app that will show what my focal length will capture, sure i have seen as such for Staellarium (appears like a rectangle on the night image?)
  17. I can see one on the asyrobuysell site, but was placed in August and no photos, which rings alarm bells to me. Thanks for the heads up.
  18. Stacking multiple images will help reduce 'noise', looks like alot of ambient light in some of the pics, that won't help. Perhaps check a light pollution map to see what options you have for low Bortle locations?
  19. Scrub that last comment, found them. Thanks EDIT- Called them and out of stock, they only had an allocation of 3, any orders coming into the country are pre-orders. new orders are likely to be April 2023. Looks like a long long wait, unless i see a used one 1st.
  20. Has anyone seen this still available anywhere? Searched online and the trend seems to be not available until early 2023? Have a saved alert on ebay, but no joy so far. Many thanks
  21. Not sure if i have worded this correctly, but when i seek to image the milky way core for instance i set a high ISO and short exposure, just to centre the shot etc. But this is my initial venture into DSO, Orion, Andromeda etc. I am using a 6D, Samyang 135mm, Star Adventurer ii, what is the suggested process to ensure i am in fact imaging the correct object? Is plate solving really my only option to be certain? Am trying to make it idiot proof.
  22. Agree with what's been said. Amazing how the brain completes the full circle, despite it not actually being imaged.
