We've a lot to thank Steve for. His adaptors allow us to explore yet another side of this hobby.
I use one of his adaptors to hook the gstar up to a c-mount 4mm cctv lens ($18 Jaycar). Excellent for meteor showers.
The Pi Puppids peak on the 23rd of this month, hope the cloud clears by then. |
We have nothing but smoke everywhere here at the moment ... bushfires to the North, East and South plus cloud .... perfect conditions for imaging really
Will keep my eyes peeled 23rd Jeanette ... if it all clears up.

Nice first light with the lens.

Cheers Jase ...
The focuser ring actually slides along the lens barrel for zooming on this model ... I was happy to get close to be honest. It's a beautiful lens to use hand held ... very smooth motion to zoom and focus in one movement. I have a couple more lenses to try that don't have the same focusing system and will give a much wider fov ... 35-70mm ... 50mm standard plus a Canon FD 2 x Extender. I really want to do some wide field images of the milky way later on when the moon buggers off
