Ah!
Unless someone has built a new type, you can't use the original FD / EOS adapter for astrophotography as you loose infinity focus. Also, the original adapter was meant for use with 300mm+ telephotos and would probably be no use anyway, giving poor results at best
Would be interested to know how you modified your 50mm tho!
