G'day,

I'm impressed.. also very impressed with your AP with this lens... so much so, I've just pushed the button on a Samyang 500mm f6.3 mirror lens... likely not quite in the league of your Tamron but, I have other samyang lenses & these seem to get a pretty good write up... anyways, the price was right...

So, I'm curious about a couple of things...

1. For terrestrial photo's do you use 'focus peaking' or just rely on live view magnification to tweak your focus?

2. For Astrophotography, have you made up a bhatinov mask, if not, how are you achieving sharp focus?

I was planning to get out of AP totally as it was never more than a passing interest vs visual astronomy... heading this route with a sky tracker will be way more convenient & with some effort, probably provide more than adequate results for me...

Happy to move this to a private message if you think it more appropriate

Cheers
