Hi all,
Turned my wee 400mm lens on one of the big boy's DSO's last night for a laugh.
Don't think I'll be challenging Mike's image any time soon.
Had fun trying though

That's what I was thinking. Plenty to see there Doug.

Nicely done Doug, it might be small but looks pretty good to me mate.

Lovely Doug,

I reckon that's the ideal FOV for Cent A, really puts it in perspective.

Very nice.

Cheers

Chris

small - but perectly formed! I like it. What aperture did you set it to...?

Enjoy the 4 months of reprocessing to come

Lots of detail there Doug despite the small size. But the wide view has great impact!

I like it Doug gives it depth

400mm lens has a 77mm lens stopped down using step filter rings to 49mm.
Somewhere between f8 and f9 I think
