Description

Orion’s belt in an HaRGB rendition, imaged with an old friend: my late father’s Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 135/3.5 telephoto lens, which I have adapted for astrophotography. I had used this lens for astrophotography on film in the ‘90s, for instance to image comet Hale-Bopp. Designing and making the adapters to mount it on a dovetail plate and to my astro camera’s filter wheel has been a very rewarding experience.
