I really like the result you have produced from this.

Did you ever find one of those special Pentax lenses that Marco uses?

cheers
Martin
Yes I have come across 3 actually. I nearly bought one but someone was just ahead of me. 2 others were more expensive at about US$2000 each and I didn't have the dollars.

This is first light for the Pentax lenses is it..?

Yes there is a bit Mike. I found, as I noticed in a few others widefield lens images lately, that magenta seemed too high. I had brighter stars looking magenta and some a bit too red. But its processable although I would prefer a fringe killer filter to see if it stops it without needing processing.

It makes you appreciate that nice ED glass that is in our APO lenses.

Greg.
