Description

I got an EQ mount and now it's much easier to do bigger integrations than with the Alt / Az mount that still made me suffer from field rotation. But for this first experiment I kept subs of 30 secs, I will only increase it in the next one. Another experiment I'm also doing is a vintage Pentacon 200mm F4 lens. It seems to be a cool lens in F 5.6, but it has some strange aberration where the stars are triangular when zoom in, it must be something related to the collimation of the lens. I think that after having fun and learning a little more with this new setup the next step will be to make the modification on the camera.
