Description

Last summer, I decided to take wider field images of targets which I exposure with my ASA astrograph on cooled CCD. I decided to go for the Samyang 135 mm F2.0 ED UMC lens at full aperture. The combination with a Fuji X-M1 performs very well, as it seems.

This image is a result from the "first light" with the Samyang lens. The Fuji X-M1 was mounted piggy back on a 30 cm astrograph, tracked on the DDM60.

Description: Balanced color, slightly decreased star diameters, and enhanced saturation to increase visibility of nebulous structures. Thanx to Hartmut for these hints.
