Telescope
Samyang's heavy hitting wide field lens, this lens took astronomy by storm many years ago and continues to impress to this day. Stopped down to F/3.2 for better star shapes. Although you will still have some coma to deal with, obviously.
Once again fitted with a Player One Poseidon mono camera, filter wheel and quality LRGBHOS filter.
In most cases the maximum sub length we will do on this pier is 300s, for most of the brighter objects shorter subs will be better however
Recommended Sub Lengths
| Filter | Bright | Dim | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lum | 60-120s | |
| Broadband RGB | 60-120s | |
| Narowband HOS | 120-180s |
