Hi all,
In addition to the big scope & mount I also took my 35 year-old Vixen SP mount away with me on last month's dark-sky trip.
One night I set up my old DSLR and 135mm lens on the Vixen and let it run in 'set and forget' mode whilst I went back to imaging with the ZWO/MN190
It's one of the richest regions of the Milky Way and no doubt well known to most here. I managed to fit in the Lagoon and Trifid, as well as the Sagittarius Star Cloud along with IC 1284 at lower left and open cluster M23 at top left.
40 x 90 sec subs at ISO 400 and at f2.8 tracked but unguided.
Astro-modded Pentax K-5iis and Samyang 135mm ED UMC lens.
The high-res version (HD) is here:

C & CC welcome as always.
