Brilliant, something to aspire to. Thanks.

Well that is encouraging! I'll let you know how well it fits the FW. Now getting to grips with threads in FreeCad!

Brilliant thanks Julian. I'm waiting for the lens to arrive from HK and don't have one to check fit but I'll check the fit on the FW body. Did the lens connect OK in your opinion.

This is incredible! Is the fit OK?

Wow! Does the Tamron have the Canon EF mount?

Whoaaa, is it in one piece?

Thanks Paul I will check that out.

I generated the file from FreeCad, didn't see any export options for resolution and the like but this is all new to me.

Oooo it's looking good.

OMG I'm trembling with excitement. 🙂

Crikey I've never been so excited! 🙂

Haha! Awesome. Hope you can see the attachment. for3dprint.stl

Thanks Julian. There are no threads on it but the bayonet joint structures are quite intricate....

Unbelievable, amazing!

I've designed an adaptor that should allow me to connect a Shamyan 135mm F2 lens to my SX filter wheel and bring the lens to chip distance down to or below the FFD of the canon EF mount (44mm). I'm looking at getting this printed by a service I have found on the web which has validated my STL file for printing. I know essentially nothing about 3D printing as was wondering how a 3D printer can print an object with an overhang like this....

A year or two ain't gonna make much difference. Something else must be effecting the result. Were they all shifted by the same amount in the same direction?

Ummm interesting, it's bang on for me. Were they all shifted or randomly? Did you put the date of the acquisition in as it takes into account proper motions?

...Puke.tif 🤣

Thanks for this. I just checked my data from a month or so ago and I just missed it. Drats.

Thanks, acquisition details can be found here on a previous process....

Finally finished the full field of this image...

I was working on a process to remove the stars from a previous post and found this intermediate step so attractive that I decided to save it away. I've even left some remnants of star removal in as they add an additional artistic element to it - in my mind. I was aiming for the Hubble pallet but seemed to have achieved something closer to a Turner painting. 🙂

I will be playing around with this forever I think. This is a reprocess in which I have reduced the size of the stars and left out the layer of very faint stars. I've been looking at how stars and colour appear on Hubble images - ambitious or what! - and have been heading in that direction as far as possible, getting a bit closer to the look and feel of those images. Standing back from it it looks like Turner was more of an inspiration!

Thanks Mark. still a way to go to get certain aspects right but all good fun. The stars look a little cut out but I think I can easily fix that.

I've been developing a process to remove the stars, process them and the underlying image seperatly and then to recombine them. This is a whole new ball game for me. I will need to analyse some images out there and try to decide what it is I am trying to achieve but I'm probably going to stop at this point with this one.
