Mid afternoon on Wednesday I checked the weather and it was forecasted to be mostly clear from 9pm till 3am. In reality there was 1.5 hours of clear skies and RAIN!

Anyway, managed first light with a Zeiss 135mm f/2 @ F/2.8 with a QHY163M.
I’ve learned that the way I’ve been mounting both a Sigma Art 85mm and Zeiss 135mm has been introducing some nasty tilt. When I first mount it the star images are nicely centred, after sleeping around the sky for a while however it is shifting the lens causing some nasty tilt :/
I think I need to get a larger set of rings for the lens so that I can anchor the lens hood along with the base of the lens.

10x120s RGB (1 hour total).
