Heart & Soul - Pixel peeping @f2

[Uranium235]

Well, not a lot on last night, clear sky, but moon in an unfortunate spot so I swung around to this one for a couple of hours.

The primary goal of the image was to perfect the corners at full speed over a 22mm diagonal. And, Ive pretty much achieved that.... not bad for a 450 quid lens

The focus drifted a little as the temperature dropped, but not too bothered about that since its still basically a tester.

 

16x600 (Ha)

Samyang 135mm @f2  - QSI583

Corners @200%   

 

Thanks for looking

Nice to see both in same frame, many setups barely get the heart in the FOV without a mosaic.
Certainly plenty of detail in there 🙂

I haven't even looked at the main subject yet.. its the corners I'm awarding the "likes" for  😮

Yeah I think once you own a 135 the corners become a lot more interesting 🧐 I still use my 533mc but I’m dying to try a 2600mc 

that looks great

Youre in a sweet spot there with that camera since its square sensor doesnt ask so much of the lens (a mono 533 would be interesting). Once you go bigger you need a microfocuser to tease out the corners (a b-mask only gets you close).

I asked FLO about the mono version this week that’s my next move using your adapter 

I find the ZWO EAF is good using the ASI AIR. been by happy with my focus. I have been following the main thread from the start it’s cost me a fortune 😂

A quick seardh of google has rumours of maybe april/may before they announce a mono version.

[Richie092]

That works. I’m currently trying to get my C8 working for galaxy season so will hopefully pick the mono up in summer. 
 

have been inspired by some of the Ha only images for the 135.

Well, I’m the opposite I take in the overall image first and your heart and soul is superb, lovely framing, depth and detail, and yes, your corners are great too.👍
