Nice image and great processing

[@mcchurchmouse]

Glad you like it!

Great video tutorial. Try Set Astro’s “What’s in My Image” to identify the name of the galaxies near the Witch Head Nebula.

[@mcchurchmouse]

Great idea! Thanks!

awesome, question for you, did you work on backfocuse as all when setting up this lens and camera? I have the Rokinon 135 that i've been thinking of pairing up with either my ASI 1600 or QHY 268C and putting it on top of my Edge 11" as a dual type setup.

[@mcchurchmouse]

Yes. Backfocus is very important with a lens. For this setup I use the zwo 2" filter drawer for EOS (canon version lens). Then a small spacer that came with the 294 camera that I use. Backfocus is properly achieved as with the diagram that is shown in the product page for the filter drawer on highpoint scientific. I like to be able to use filters so it was a no brainer for me.
