Description

Quick test of a Mitakon Speedmaster 85mm f/1.2 lens for astrophotography, for a very portable setup when travelling. It is a one shot picture of 4 minutes exposure, with no guiding.

It happens to work well (based on my own tastes !) when closed down to f/2, with a H alpha filter at least : need more time of imaging with it before jumping to definitives conclusions, but weather has been bad for more than a month in Paris.

I have been lucky to get a fantastic weather in Corsica during my week of holidays... and what a sky (Bortle 3).
