Yes Sil I use Stellarium,my 8mm fisheye arrived yesterday & and i tested it
out ( daytime landscape shots) but obviously the barrel distortion was really
bad around the edges but not so bad in the center area so i cropped the
image with cinema scope (corel) and was quite pleased with the result being
a panned like image so ill try that out with Milky shots.
According to VPs manual 8mm is off the scale (8 minutes with a 15mm) so i
am guessing i might be able to push it out to 10 > 15 minutes.According to some online threads VP's recommended specs are very conservative at the
very least so ill try pushing it a bit.
As for manual focusing i was able adjust star sharpness @3oomm with live
view magnified x 10 but struggle with ultrawide lenses as their just way too small.
What do you think of the time consuming long exposure noise reduction
feature, i plan on using a iso between 400 & 800 for M W shots over
5 minutes.
Ill be trying my celestron mak 90 (1250mm) for my next moon shoot.
I have a backyard test shot on my flickr page i just put up if you want
to check out the detail of the scope on my old 30D.I can see a 8mm hex
nut @ 30 meters..........cheers next time
