Sadr Wide Field in Ha

[silentrunning]

After a mad 2 or 3 weeks getting to grips with a new hobby 3D printing (or rather and adjunct to astronomy!) I managed to build a couple of adapters that have allowed me to get to focus with the new Samyang 135mm F2 lens bolted onto a SX filter wheel and a QHY11 Camera. A couple of nights ago I got to run the lens in and out on an adjustable adapter I had made and once I felt I was bang on that elusive 44mm I quickly printed off a non adjustable more sturdy adapter giving the same lens to chip distance. 

This is 10 x 10min exposures binning at 1x1 in Ha. Hopefully get some O and S to add to it when the weather improves.
