Nice!
How do you mount it? What adapter?

I've done a bit of astrophotography myself, using the astrotracer feature on the Pentax cameras. Works a treat.

Not as yet but it's something I've always wanted to try.
What lenses are ye using, (OP I know you've used a scope for these)
Harris, what do you use from your varied and very fancy collection.

I know what i like, If not always why.

I used my SMC Takumar 200mm lens for most images, and the Samyang 85/1.4 and DA 35 Macro for wider one shot each of the Cygnus region. Ever since I've had fancier kit I've never actually gone out for astro. I don't live in a nice and unpolluted area and I'm scared of going out (even into the garden) in the night after an attempted burglary around the Xmas period.

Really sorry to hear that Harris.
There's no shortage of s*** bags no matter where you live. Any friends or neighbours that could keep you company while you get a bit of shooting in ?

That might be a good shout. Hopefully will try and pop out to darker skies sometime during the summer.

I have recently began to hang my K5 off the arse end of my telescope.
I now have a 1325 mm f13 super lens!
Anyone else here in to astrophotography?
Cheers
