Western Veil Nebula
Lens: Takumar 200mm F4 Camera: KX Photo Location: West Chester PA ISO: 800 Shutter Speed: Above 6s Aperture: F5.6

This past summer, I picked up a couple of vintage Takumar lenses for use in astrophotography. Here is my first go at the 200mm F/4. The subs for this were acquired while my main scope was imaging the western veil, and I was hoping to get the whole veil complex in my sights, but my aim was a little off. This was taken with my stock Pentax KX.

Really cool shot... well worth opening large and "falling" into. I have never tried astrophotography. I will have to look up the technique. We have very dark skies here (no light pollution) and the stars and planets are over the top awe inspiring. Thanks for sharing.
