CANON w/Camera Lens-also F6.3 reducer

Hi All,
Gave the Canon (modded) a try using an 200 mm Camera Lens on M42/2042-IC434, sharp enough but a lot of stars seem large (maybe they are), also tried out a MEADE F-6.3 Focal reducer on the ED80 with the Canon on ngc3372 Carina (to get the lot- last Pix. was without a F/R), seems O.K., but not as sharp as the ED80 alone.
Anyone who has used Camera Lenses with the Canon (for astrophotography) might like to comment on the Large Stars ????.
M42/IC434- 6 x 2 Min. Exp.-DF removed
ngc3372-4 x 6 Min. Exp.-DF removed.

cheers........Jim
