Of possible interest -I've posted my electronic finder results on my homepage using both a wideangle video lens [43 x 30 deg fov]and regular 58mm f/2 SLR lens [6 x 4 deg fov]  May suit those, like me, with severe neck problems

Thanks Marcus - tried NGC 7000 [N. America Neb] and IC 1396 in Cep in longish exposures [16m=8x2m] and red filter to bring out H-alpha - gets down to mag 13/14 - not bad for <40mm aperture lens of 85mm fl - not 58mm as quoted on original posted frame

Thanks Marcus + AstroTay for your interest - here's an annotated pic of finder-cam now with larger 85mm fl f/2 Jupiter camera lens with 4x3 degree fov. The Lodestar CCD is swapped quickly between 'finder' and main or piggybacked 'scopes without disturbing the 'finder' focus
However I'm still enjoying the captured 'deep' shots via the finder-cam

Outstanding. Nice setup.
Do you use this setup for "guiding" or for some "photography" also?
Cheers.
