Hello

Image taken towards the end of November. Had another go at processing it.  Image taken with the following...

Canon 450D (modded) / Nikon 180 ED f2.8 @ f5.6 / Vixen GP Photoguider. 30 x 2 mins at iso 800. All subs unguided. Stacked in DSS with calibration frames. Processed in Photoshop.

Thanks for looking

Alan

It had to go back sadly as it had an issue, pity because it was a nice bit of kit. I`ve replaced it with a Canon 200 mm f2.8 USM..

I was just about to ask if you had tried the lens wide open or even f4. I can use mine wide open so long as the chip isn't too big  

Was the lens sagging on the adaptor ?

It was unusable @ f4. I purchased it because of its reputation. I just must have bought the only faulty one!! He was good enough to have it back.I had to crop the image heavily even at f5.6...
