You can`t buy lens collars for the 135 sadly. I used a canon 200 mm f2.8 usm on my SA and its around the same weight. It should be ok on the bracket with good PA and balance... Alan

Very little!!

Re procesed image of the Flaming Star. Just under 30 mins exp at iso 400 @ f 2.8. Regards Alan

Well last night was crystal clear and calm. As i`m currently unemployed i thought i might as well take full advantage as in a few weeks it won`t be worth setting up due to the Summer months. Anyway i had a few issues (all of my own making). So i thought i`ll get a North American Nebula in early. So here we have approx 60 mins of exposure in 75 sec subs @ iso 400. Taken with the following. Modded 450d / Samyang 135 mm f2 @ f2.8 / Vixen GPDX and skysensor 2000 PC / Skytech L Pro filter. Captured in BYEOS. Stacked in DSS with calibration frames. Processed in Photoshop. Thanks for looking

My first light with the Samyang. Both images taken unguided on my Vixen GPDX. Approx 2 hours in Ha. 4 min subs @ iso 1600. RGB image 30 x 75 secs @ iso 400. Skytech L Pro filter. Images taken with my modded 450 d Love this lens! Working at f 2.8 is a joy!

Bought this bracket for my Samyang. Works a treat on my GPDX. Fantastic quality. Alan

This is my first light with mine. Approx 30 mins exposure @ f 2.8 iso 400 75 sec subs..... This is one sharp lens!!!!! Alan

I can't wait to get mine! Great images Adam! Regards Alan

Mine is working like a charm........well atm it is ? Alan

Did you try unguided images Steve? Alan

Hello Anyone here guiding using a Vixen GPDX and Skysensor 2000 PC? Looking for options and opinions. Cheers Alan

Prize for the cheapest must go to me.......stepdown rings from Ebay........£5.03!!! ? (my one and only Xmas pressie) Alan

I`ve had a couple. Brilliant little scope!!! Fantastic for its aperture on the Moon and planets. Does ok on the brighter DSOs too. Recommended!! Alan

Mine is Bortle class 6. I want /need to move to Cornwall!!! Alan

I can vouch for the Skysensor 2000. Its still considered one of the best GOTOs ever made. What system lets you input Comet data into it to track comets? I`m a Vixen freak, i love the stuff. The build quality is superb.

Forecast here looks dire......no surprise really its the UK!! :( I`ve yet to get a glimpse
