Description

It has been a couple years since I used my Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro L lens. It provides a nice 7.6deg x 5deg FOV.  Tried it out last night on the Heart and Soul Nebulae region. It didn't play nicely with focusing using it with my Optolong L-Utimate dual band filter, and I'll need to figure out if I should stop the lens down even more from f/3.5.  Ambient temp was in the low to mid 20's, which made it a challenge for the equipment. Luckily, everything worked well without shutting down.
