Description

As my Canon 100-400mm is mostly useless for astrophotography, I am trying to see whether I can get a little bit more reach than 200mm with the lenses I own: this one has been taken with the Canon 135mm L + 2xTC and it seems that the stars are OK, but I had to step down to f/7 to avoid too much chromatic aberration :/ It's OK for such a bright nebula I guess, but definitely not ideal.

Exposure time was 120s which is probably a little bit too much for the Star Adventurer at this focal: I had to trash almost 50% of my lights.
