The Core

But not like that terrible, terrible movie.

No Moon means you can use shorter focal length glass, right? This is an 294MC staring at the galactic center for five hours through a zwo duo filter and a Sigma Art 35mm f/1.4 (stopped down a bit)

Unfortunately, modern DSLR (and probably mirrorless) lenses come without manual aperture rings, which means you need to wedge bits of plastic into their mechanism if you want to stop them down a bit for shaper images. Still waiting for the DSLR/M42 adapter manufacturers to catch on and add aperture rings to their products.

In the mean time, I didn't stop this one down enough and didn't focus quite right, so there is a spot of coma and blurriness.

I like the field of view though, all the bright Ha menagerie from the Prawn to the Eagle ;-)
