great seeing lastnight, I think this has been my best this year so far with a unmodded cam and super-takumar 35/135 glass, shot in jpeg "I know".

thanks for looking and I wish you clear skys with good seeing.  charl

same with tags.

That's a nice piece of glass.

I know you like single shot but what exposure length and did you stop it down?

[xtreemchaos]

thanks Happy-cat, 25x45 sec iso1600 and 20x60sec iso 1600, 2 clicks on the stopper should of been three in hindsight, I shot in jpeg because forgot to change it after solar and didn't find out till taking my images off this morning, but I'm quite please how thay turned out.  clear skys charl.

Giddy up!  I knew she's poke her nose out.. That's a cracking image for unmodified dslr.. like it..

thanks Fozzie, its the glass mate, over 50years old but puts a lot of these new plastic lenses to bed, if you ever get the chance to buy a super takamar lens ,go for it mate you would not be disappointed.  clear skys ,charl.

That has come out really nicely, I'd be tempted to add more to it you might get a bit more on gg. Pulled quite a bit more out with the increase to 135 from my 85mm try, I have a 135mm but it's not a takumar and needs quite a bit of stopping down.

yer mate ill be having another go tonight "weather permiting", the seeing lastnight was A1, hope its as good tonight, ive loads of other lens but I favour the 35/135 since I got it off chris lock "thanks Chris" in mint condition I havnt used any of my others, ive the super-tak 300 aswell if I want to get abit closer.  charl.

[JemC]

Love seeing iconic targets like these in a widefield setting.

[xtreemchaos]

thanks John, sorry id been so long replying, ive had me head full of solar this post slipped my mind. yer mate I'm quite pleased with the shot but next time I think ill stop it down abit because theres quite a bit of colour drift on the brighter stars. clear skys, charl.
