The Dark Tower, IC4628, Lagoon&Triffid with Bert's lens

Howdy
I used Bert's incredible 300mmf2.8 flourite lens to capture these objects, and all before the footy on TV tonight.
The dark Tower and environs. 5x5 mins
2nd pic is a full res crop showing the lenses incredible resolving power

IC 4628 (just next to the dark Tower pic) 3x5 mins

Lagoon & Triffid area 3x5 mins.
All taken with uv/ir and uhcs filters installed in rear of lens. Hutech modded 350D, ISO 400. Hand guided with a (Halleys comet special) cheapie 3 inch guidescope on my 20 year old Sampson GEM mount.

When the moon starts to interfere next week I will put in the 7Nm Ha filter into Bert's lens and give that a go.
Scott
PS I wished I had more web space to upload full res Hi quality Jpegs to show the lenses incredible resolution.
