Lowered the ISO down to 400 to preserve the star color. Hi-res image with details is here.

Does the Baader MPCC thread to your t-ring or t-adapter? I'm thinking of getting the same thing and was wondering what I need. I have an SCT style t-adapter.

So you won't need a t-adapter at all. Your setup will be like this: DSLR -> t-ring -> MPCC -> scope. Hope this helps! - Craig -------------------- Orion 10" f/4.7 Newtonian Astro Tech AT8IN 8" f/4 Newtonian Orion 80ED William Optics ZS66 Atlas EQ-G w/EQMOD Post Extras:       HaleBopper professor emeritus Reged: 01/14/08 Posts: 500 Loc: Great White North Re: Perseus Double Cluster in the AT8IN [Re: templec]       #3407106 - 10/23/09 09:21 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   It does, thank you.
