Second try at Saturn with my Meade SCT. A bit better seeing and focus this time. Definitely need to get a focus motor though.

You can get focus motors for telescopes?

Very nice job on this shot!!

Absolutely. You can motorize and wire all aspects so that they can be operated remotely if you want. My scope is so old that I have to get a third party one, but they may be better anyway.

And thanks!

That is cool! I know if you were to buy a new scope it would come motorized, but being able to take a much older scope and motorize that is a definate plus!

You have been able to motorize telescopes for a long time. The newer invention is the GoTo technology. That required the development and miniaturization of computer technology that we've had sine the 1980's. I still have to find things on my own...

Thanks! Yeah, I thought that one came out great too. Just lucky really that the settings I had for in the open turned out to be great in that little pond in a clearing.

What wide angle lens for this camera would you say is best, sharpest, good autofocus, range 10-24mm ?

Thanks guys.

I have both the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM and EF-S 10–18mm f/4.5–5.6 IS STM lenses and both are quite good. The 10-18 is surprising for its low price - IQ is every bit as good as the 10-22 and it has the benefit of IS and lightness.

I'll second both the EF-S 10-22 and 10-18. Especially the 10-18 which came with a great price for a great performer lens. I got the Sigma 8-16 just months before the EFS 10-18 hit the market. Great lens, with great flare resistance (the bane of Ultra Wide lenses).

An additional plus over the EFS lenses is that you can fit them to a FF camera without hitting the mirror. IIR you have to remove the Canon EFS 'bump' to fit them to a FF and then you can't use the full focal length range for fear of hitting the mirror. It was as expensive as the EFS 10-22 (but better) but the EFS 10-18 was significantly cheaper. You might be able to find a used one for a price comparable to the EFS 10-18.

Here is a sample at 8mm (the Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona from accross the street.
