Hello There,I have taken some shots last nightI piggybacked my 350d on my ED80 refractor.I own 3 zoom lens that I could never attach to it because they were Pentax K mount lenes.I bought a Steve mogg adapter so now I can attach the K mounts to my 350D.The zoom I attached last night was a Sigma 100 to 300 zoom. last night I set it at the 135mm mark opened the apto 4.5. You have to do every lens adjustment manually.Because it a digital camera if you set the lens at 135 you multiply that by 1.6 which gives you a zoom setting of 216.I took about 13 shots all up and moved the zoom above and below that setting.THe ISO speed was 800.-img-2336-181secs/ img2337-238 secs/ img-2339-130 secs/img-2340-158 secs.The best thing about last night it was fairly cool and the humidity wasn't like the night before.reguard's Tony.
