Im getting used to focussing this huge hunk of glass now, visually focussed it and only took 2 trial and error adjustments with 5 second shots at ISO 1600 to get good focus. Its a joy to hand guide too.
Processed in Iris and Photoshop

That is a bit of an understatement Scott 'huge hunk of glass', it is really a photon sucker of the first order. It is great to see you get such good results or images so quickly. On reflection the ability to rotate the whole assembly by loosening the rings would make orientation for framing images also a joy to use.
