I just bought an adapter from Teleskop Service so I could use my QHY8 pro with my Zeiss 135mm f2 APO.

First test Rho Ophiuchi. 8 x 5mins subs stopped down to f2.8. Piggybacked on my 10" f4.

The adapter introduced a little bit of tilt.

Sensational Dave. That's a fabulous lens as well.

Yes, I'm very impressed with the lens. Very little difference in sharpness between f2 and f5.6 on my Canon 5D3.

Awesome colour! Too much LP here to shoot widefield like that.

Nice colours and great field of view for this object.

I probably over saturated this version a bit.

I have been quite impressed with the QHY8 pro so far.
