Thanks Mathew, a quick and easy set up on the night with cheap equipment sometimes works well.

I do notice that with a lot of older lenses at all focal lengths that they are as sharp as newer ones when stopped down, but have a lot more purple fringing. I guess that was difficult to control cheaply back in the day.

Thanks Harry, it was a 200mm f2.8 prime lens. Comes good for astro at around f5.6, even better at f8 - f11. That usually reduces the colour fringing. The coatings on newer lenses are much better these days.
