Don't tell me....Pentax just didn't make long enough lenses

Can I ask a newbie question?

I'm familiar with the concept of back focusing and use it all the time setting up CCTV cameras ( I wish my engineers could grasp the concept ).
But how do you back focus an SLR?

There's always one

Ok guys..you've beat me into submission

My brother in law has given me his reflector. I've no idea what it is yet, but I'm looking forward to getting my hands on that and comparing it to my refractor.

Here's a thing though; did you get into astronomy from photography, or photography from astronomy, or did you approach both subjects seperately?

I started with a slight interest in photography, but only bought an SLR to hang on the back of my telescope. Then I decided I wanted to do more with the camera and now spend more time with the camera than the telescope.

My brain hurts

So...watch this space






I know....I'll get my coat.
TAXI!!

I don't know, but; if you have an image with the EXIF intact and someone else has the same image with no EXIF information, surely you would have the stronger case for ownership?

I tried that with my Super ME, without any success.

Full moon, ironically, does not make a good image. The divide is where to get a good image, using the shadows. A bit like early morning, or evening light down here is better than at noon.

Didn't want to be the first to stick my head over the parapet, but I have to agree with you on this.

OMG......
How can I compete with that!!!!

What were you using and how did you do it? Multiple stacked images?

Which galaxy is it?
