Comet Lovejoy QHY8 / SLR (film) lens

Reposted here , for the benefit of the dabblers.

This was posted in the main Lovejoy thread also.
I think this setup has potential for the coming week of Lovejoy
nearing the SCP.
Nothing new about this idea, inspired by Marc (multiweb) and his
QHY9 / lens / Ha work.

Love the FOV, and as you can see from test set #1 (near Crux/Coalsack)
the stars are pretty good out to the edges. 80-200mm lens set at 80mm.

Set #2 is the tail (head off screen to right), extending all the way to
almost Alpha Cent (far left)
