NGC 1027 the Heart and Soul nebula
I am liking narrow band imaging! As soon as the moon shrinks (and I learn how to combine Ha and RGB) I plan to add RGB to this.

No doubt that focusing is difficult but I'll take it to image during nights when the moon is bright. I use ADM rings to hold the lens, once focused I lock down the screws holding the focus in place.

Sounds like a lot of work, but really paid off for you.

Thanks Mark. I used a an adapter by Fotodiox to couple the lens to the Canon body. Focusing was tedious. I've been using Backyard EOS and had to take multiple 5 sec frames to get focus.
