Yeah, thought I'd give it a go after playing around with my D800 at Astrofest, Simon. It's nice to get (relatively) quick results.

Thanks, Kevin. I haven't imaged a comet before but that sounds like a lot of fun!

How does the Samyang compare to the Zeiss?

Ta, Geoff. The focus isn't quite as smooth but the Samyang seems to be a great lens, especially for the price.

Widefield imaging is a lot of fun and opens up larger patterns than our normal view.
The Samyang 135 F2 has a good reputation.

Thanks, Greg. It was a test shot with no real thought given to composition... but I should have known better

I might keep it just in case I get sick of wide field, Lewis
