Hey guys

Has anyone used a K series body with a 67 300mm f4 lens via an adaptor, and was the outcome any good???

Thanks
Ian

Cannot wait for that day!!! You have also given me an idea on that... getting to cloud inversion season!

Thank you for mentioning Photo Ephemeris. I wil be using that!! I also use Google Earth (try it in VR, you can get an even better sense of how the shot will work out), to plan shots and checkout locations. My problem is, I cannot walk far - so I have to work out of the side of my van. So Google is brilliant because I can also use it to scout parking places to shoot from.

Stellarium is just brilliant! What more can I say???

It's No10 that makes me fizzle!!

I wish I could get to somewhere like that.... i bet every where you look they views are epic!!!

Sorry.... it was a CLS filter not a,UHC!

I love the B&W!!

Last week I decided to go out and do some night shooting in B&W.

Here are my results. C&C's welcome!

Last night I mounted a Pentax 135mm f3.5 with a 48mm UHC Filter, to a Canon 600D Astro Modded (IR Hot Mirror removal) via an adaptor... then pointed it at the North American Nebula! Did not get it bang on but I am pretty please with the outcome! Will be having a further play with this set up, as well as mounting it on either my K5ii or K-S2. The 135mm did a pretty good job with manageable CA!

This is 83 x 30 sec exposures, f5.6 at 400iso. This also has 15 x dark, 40 x flat, and 40 x bias calibration images. This is a also cropped.

...with IR!

Love this!!!

Geoff,

Do you use PhotoPills? Tis a great app for planning core shots. It uses Google maps then overlays a graphic that show you the direction, and when the core is most visible. It also tells you the best time to capture it....

I nipped up to Windgather rocks, got blown around and nearly killed myself in the process!!
