Description

After having all the gear to add my Rokinon 135 mm set up ( with it's own ASI air and filter wheel), I finally added it  to my RASA8 set up as a piggy back. While not perfect as the mount dithering is not coordinated, it still is fun to capture more data on the exceedingly rare clear nights. 

I gathered  5 quick hours of Barnard's loop while capturing different objects with the RASA around m78. An enjoyable afterthought project with an hour integration per channel. I had to crop all around, but was happy to have the horse head in the right corner. I shot 2x2 binning due to space on the ASI air. I still really like how the focus is maintained using ZWO EAF with the lens. Fun to see detail on the horse head at 135 mm focal length. 

Definitely worth a full look for fun zoomed in or with full resolution. The mouse over shows the starless version which is a testament to RusseLl Croman's starX.
