I have decided to use the older lenses with adapters as well. There are a lot for sale at good prices and some of those lenses were outstanding, so I am happy to see this photo for that reason as well.
From memory the E-series was made as a budget lense made to go with a budget Nikon SLR, although I cannot remember the models (FG/F20 I think). The had the standard AI mount from memory, but had a lot of optical plastic rather than glass, so it is possible the problem u mention is in the lens it's self.

Thanks Trevor. I have several Nikkor lenses that I use (with EOS adapters) for astro work. I particularly like the Nikkor 135mm f3.5 (see example
here) and the Nikkor 200mm f4 (example
here). Both relatively inexpensive lenses that produce some nice results.

Thanks Graeme. You don't think it looks too 'washed out'? I'm wondering if I should increase the contrast a bit more...?
I am originally from Adelaide (and my family still live there) so I know the city quite well. My wife and I are looking at moving to a Hills location such as Mt Barker or Strathalbyn. Strath is probably the front runner as it has darker skies and a relax 'country town' community vibe.
