Title: Mono Infinity with Rokinon 135mm f2 lens using homemade adapter
Post by: JimH123 on January 31, 2019, 10:00:06 pm: I made my own adapter to go from Sony A-mount lenses to the Mono Infinity and find it works quite well. Here is M13 as an example.

very nice pictures you show.

Since a few days I own a ZWO-Nikon-T2-Adapter, with which I want to test my Nikkor 180mm, f/1.8 on the Infinity.
At the moment I'm still looking for a solution how to mount Infinity and Nikkor on the Meade LX200. How did you solve the problem?
Do you have a specific workflow to get the most out of the mono images?

Unfortunately my English is not perfect because it is not my native language.

Greetings from Germany

Klaus

Can I ask what mount you used if you used guiding, and what were the local conditions like? I have a Canon f2.8 @ 200mm and 30 seconds is enough if the seeing is clear enough but Rokinon / Samyang are quite cheap and the results exceptional!

Cheers

BillB
