Description

The IC 1396 region imaged from my backyard at the outskirts of Luxembourg (Bortle 5 area)

Taken with an unmodded Canon 550D and a legacy M42 lens – the Pentax Takumar SMC 200mm F4

To get decent results from this achromat (which can be still found on ebay for less that 100€) I stopped the aperture at 37mm and very slightly defocused to reduce the ugly magenta halos due to chromatic aberration. I also carefully set the exposure time to avoid saturation of the brightest stars. 13 hours of total exposure, over 3 nights.
