Test Run: Nikkor 200mm f/2.0 Lens

Well I finally got the Nikkor 200mm F/2.0 onto the mount an took a few images last night.

I images two regions of the sky, the first was Gum15 flanked by Gum17 (lower left) and Gum14 (upper right) and the other was NGC 6334 and NGC 6357 in the same FOV.

This big lens is excellent lens for astro imaging.

Image details: Nikkor 200mm F/2.0 lens set at F/4, Astronomik 12nm Ha filter fitted to the QHY9 CCD camera, 4x1800 second exposure.
