Seeing what you can do with a 300mm lens makes me want to pick up the 300mm DA* lens so badly now!

It was already a gem in my lens collection, now it's an even bigger gem, I have no need of investing in a new small APO like the Wiliam Optics RedCat 51 even though it looks like a "can't live without" lens. At least not for now

Exactly Kevin, legacy glass is what brought me to where I am now. Doesn’t matter that I knew where I would end (journey is far from over yet), I’ve always been interested in the universe, now I have legacy glass and astro gear, win-win situation

I want to try my Super Tak with the camera on the HEQ5 mount to shoot the Andromeda, just to see what i looks like compared to the one I shot using the DA*300:

Extremely nice pic! Love it!
