Fantastic shot! Hope to see in an astro-mag sometime soon. That is publishing quality. Absolutely mindblowing depth of star field. I'd love to see some other large field shots if you have some!
Rod I got the lens a few months ago and haven't really utilised it as much as I should of - my main love lies with my 16". Anyhow, I plan to use the lens a lot more over winter when Sco/Sag is overhead. In the mean time attached is an image of the pot taken with it...
That is brilliant John. The subtle hydrogen hue covers nearly the whole image. And you've picked out the horsehead as well. It puts all the nebulas into perspective and orientation better than just about any shot I've seen. Congratualtions on a great shot.
John, that is a beautiful photo(partial of orion)! have u printed it out in an enlarged format? I reckon that would be a very nice A1 photo mounted on a black background in a black frame!!!
Nice shots John, I use the same lens on my Pentax K , I just ordered an adapter so I can use this lens with my DSI, your shots have given me a great idea of what to expect image size wise from this setup.

You're another one on my "who's brain to pick" list when I get there in May John.
