Description

This is my first effort with a new wide field rig.  I rigged up an autofocus system using a Robofocus motor I had on hand which worked surprisingly well with good vcurves and focus results using Focusmax.    Besides the motor, the other parts (belt, pulley, cheese plate) cost under $30.  I might try to rig something up to autofocus my 85mm Rokinon.  It was also my first use of the L-enhance filter.  Unfortunately some clouds moved in and I could only save 9 five minute exposures for 45 minutes of total integration.IMG_2738 small.JPG
