Description

This is my first attempt using the Samyang 135mm on the SWSA mount. On this lightweight mount, I've been using short lenses that don't require counterbalancing. However, during my trip to Namibia, I noticed a gap between wide-angle shots and photos from my TS APO 65Q. It's time to practice and expand the capabilities with another lens.

The photo was taken during a brief window of good weather. Unfortunately, intensifying cirrus clouds first bloated the stars and ultimately forced me to pack away the equipment.
