Nils_Lars Member 43 posts Joined Dec 2011 More info | Dec 08, 2011 01:16 | #1 New here and thought I would throw up some of my recent work , I see a lot of great shots in the forums here.  28 5min subs with no filter at ISO 800 stacked in DSS then adjusted in PS CS2. Canon 500D(modded) , Orion Atlas mount and the lens was the Nikon 180ED @ f/2.8 and a 7x40mm finder as a guide scope I know its taken with Nikon glass on a Canon and thats probably some kind of evil pairing but it was such a cheap lens and works so well for Astrophotography I had to pick one up. http://www.flickr.com/photos/31986095@N05/

Dec 09, 2011 09:33 | #12 How did you mount the lens on the camera? Is there an adapter that still lets you get infinity focus, or does the lens come in eos mount?

Heh ya , its an inexpencive Fotodiox adpater and since its just an old manual focus lens nothing gets lost by using it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/31986095@N05/

Dec 10, 2011 08:24 | #14 That adapter explains why your rig didn't explode: it kept the matter and antimatter from contacting each other <grin>. So you keep infinity focus even with the adapter in place? That's pretty useful...

Ironically, the Canon FD series lenses don't fall into that group. They're still good for macro though. "Treat every photon with respect" - David Malin.
