First Light STF8300_Canon 50mm Lens

Hi folks
I did have an ST8300, which went defective on me, so I got it changed out for the upgraded STF8300. I have found significant improvements in many areas, especially download speeds and cooling. I did use this lens previously with the ST8300 and had to stop it down to f4 to overcome the off-axis nonsense.

Anyway this image was unguided and consequently stars are a little fatter at the edges, and I can see I have some drift going on which is obviously far more noticeable at this FOV.

Just 15 minutes each RGB.

I am going to have fun with this setup methinks.

cheers
Martin
