Nice! Guided through the main scope, or is your polar mount aligned well enough for an hour unguided?

I have that same lens and after seeing your image I might just drag the beast out and play with it. It is a very impressive lens and very impressive image. JW

Wonderfull, we are on our way there, in another few billion years, we will be taken over by Andromeda. I do not think there will ne anyone around to record the event but, Who the hell knows!

Thanks, fellas!

@Donald Qualls Autoguided. 15 years ago I would have been staring at a reticle eyepiece making manual corrections. Now I set it up and go inside to play War Thunder for an hour. Still technically very challenging, but at least that neck-breaking tediousness is gone.

@Nodda Duma Still must be pretty well aligned, or else you have an autorotator -- and I don't think those are compatible with film cameras.

Very cool ! "Acros(s) the Universe"
You had even captured M32 and M110.
I wonder how you managed to get a focus so good !

Very nice; It gives me hope to one day shoot sheet film.
