Description

I started this hobby years ago with just a DSLR and some old lenses. Sometimes it is nice just to return to your roots and put down the heavy mounts, scopes and auto-focusers. I took this with my used Nikkor lens that I bought off of eBay for about $200 under my bortle 8 skies. It does a nice job I think. If you dont stretch the stars too much they will stay fairly round even in the corners.
