No camera lens in this shot, the D70 was mounted directly to a Televue 85 mm (diameter) apochromatic refractor with a T-ring and a Televue adaptor. Some shots are prime focus (no eyepiece) but I typically shoot with eyepiece projection using a variety of Televue Radian and Nagler eyepieces; I am not sure which one I used in that shot. The refractor is a 600 mm F7, pretty good quality. With the eyepiece mounted, it is likely up in the range of an effective 2000 - 8000 mm lens. All mounted on a Bogen tripod, no telescope motor drive. You've got to be quick, it stays in the field of vision for less than five seconds.

This setup is completely manual, there is no metering, which is why I used the sample shot in the original response. Also, the attachment is under 100 KB, and the original shot was 4.3 MB, so if it looks acceptable at all it is amazing.

hi Allan here Fiona was showing me your picture, looks good. I have got to say that i'm jealous as you have a televue. Skys in Scotland do not really allow for many steady clear nights so i did not purchase a dear compact refractor
I use a Celestron 6inch refractor, Orion 80mm compact refractor and Celestron sky master bino's 25 by 1oo. As for the photography side of things i'm still in the old School of manual photography. Any way clear skies till the next time.
