Description

This is a single 30 second shot of the LMC taken with the Askar FMA 135 f4.5 APO Lens paired with the ASI 294 MC Pro - huge pixel scale of 7.07 ! I took 50 shots on 20 February 2022 from Iluka, Western Australia but I was unable to obtain a stack using PI or DSS. This is the only time I have used the lens; I found it difficult to focus and I was disappointed with the quality of the imagery - I also tested it with the ASI 183 MC Pro (PS 3.67) and my enthusiasm did not increase - relegated to a guide scope.
