Description

First light for my Voigtländer APO-Lanthar SL 180mm F4 lens. It's a stellar lens for everyday use, but is it any good when pointed at stellar objects? A very short integration time, since I was doing test shots for three lenses in one night, and I just wanted a handful of subs to get a look at the shape of the stars. No fine tuning of the setup yet. There is considerable tilt to remedy, and I will be fine tuning the backfocus when I have a chance.
