Thanks Rick.
The 100mm gives a nice field of view for this region. The quality of the Zeiss lens should give you some amazing photos.

Hi Mark.
I use a Canon to QHY8 adapter I bought of Theo at Gama Electronics. I then attached to this a Nikon to Canon adapter that you can buy off Ebay for a few dollars. The benefit of Theo's adapter is that it has an internal thread to attach a filter between the lens and the ccd.
All these phots were taken at -20c.

Thanks Justin.
This is such an enjoyable way to astrophotograph compared to the problems I'm having with the 8 inch "monsters".
