Couple of recent images taken with converted Canon FD 400mm f/2.8

I thought it was high time to post some of the images taken with this fantastic lens (repaired with great help from Stefan), @f/4 (external aperture).

All of those shots are stacks of 16x45 sec, ISO 3200, taken on Jan 09 2016 with Canon 60D from light poluted Melbourne (Mt Waverley), resampled to 1/2 resolution (to fit the forum file size limit) and processed with DSS and DPP.
I am very happy with this lens!
(the greenish artefact close to the middle of Horse pic is probably internal reflection from zeta Ori).

Nope, the image is done without any filters.
Only processing in DSS and DPP.

[rustigsmed (Russell)]

well you've done extra well considering!
the lens looks really nice edge to edge.

Hi Bojan. They're great results for fairly short total exposures. What mount did you use?

[RickS (Rick)]

Nice work with a DSLR and lens, Bojan!
