ASI294 + Nikon lens test

[fwm891]

I've been making an adapter to fit Nikon lenses to my ASI294MC Pro (uncooled test) and last night cleared for a short while to get a few test frames with this set-up.

Mount iOptron CEM25P (Unguided) also unbalanced as the original counterweight was way too heavy so shot with no CW.

Lens Nikon 24-85 f2.8 zoom (D series)

Camera: ASI294MC Pro (uncooled) for test.

Filter used: IDAS NB-1 filter

Processing: APP for stacking, PI and PS for colour.

I should have got out earlier for the Orion frames (2x 60s) as it was disappearing into my gutters so switched to the rosette and the Heart & Soul areas where I had a little more imaging time.

Rosette: Lens set at 50mm but heavy crop for final frame

Orion: Lens set to 24mm again heavy crop

H&S: Lens set to 50mm and cropped.

I like that a lot! Done something similar myself recently but yet to test it.
