    Vintage high-quality ED lenses can make great substitutes for more expensive short focal length telescopes. I wish I had thought of this before! Let me know if you've imaged with one of these classic lenses!

    Thanks for putting this together Chris! Really like the music and the timelapses! And yes, I will go online and search for a lenses like this! Because that's right along the path I am on: I try to keep it simple, but still want to improve my images step by step. I just re-discovered my 14mm Samyang lense and don't know why I left it aside taking on dust. Focussing and changing f-stop is manual, that's right, but for astrophotography that's really no issue.

      A 14mm Samyang! That's fantastic, I was looking at their other lenses, but they are not all made for Nikon. I'd love to see you image the Milky Way core with that Samyang!

    I did try some widefield stuff with old lenses but haven't had much luck using them as they produced to much CA so I guess I chose badly lol. I know a friend of mine uses old lenses for widefield stuff & has had more luck than me.

      I'm still learning, but I've been told I need to stop down the lens a bit. The old lenses certainly don't have the same quality as current triplets, but they cost a fraction of the price, so there is that too ;)
