Last night I got 90 minutes on Antares with a 135 mm Nikon lens I inherited from my mother. Image taken with a modified Canon 60D on a G8 mount guided with ZWO 120 mm mini. My first attempt using a camera and telephoto rather than a telescope on this mount.

Good Results.  waytogo.gif

 

perhaps shorter exposures would help, as this would reduce overexposure of the brightest stars.

 

Good Luck. Spaceman
