First attempt with an old Konica Hexanon 135 mm f3.5 legacy lens. Shot this widefield of Perseus showing IC 1805 and a bit of IC 1848 (Heart and Soul Nebula) along with NGC884 & NGC869 (Double Cluster) and Stock 2. Image acquired as a result of stacking 60 light frames in DSS of 1 minute unguided exposures at iso 1600 with darks, flats and bias frame corrections applied. Camera was a modded Canon 450 xsi mounted on an iOptron Skytracker. Image was left uncropped but clean using Neat Image and curve stretched in PE12. Will attempt another run at this to get a better center of FOV showing more of IC 1848. I also think I need to double down on exposures and acquire 2 hours of total exposure next time. In all, this old Konica legacy lens seems to perform well across the FOV.
