I'm with you photon, it actually makes me sick just to think about it. Ray

HQ? I think it depends on the person behind the camera, filters work great for the well informed. :thinking: The Raynox Macro club - PentaxForums.com

He's a French gentleman, he does some amazing work. http://www.astrophoto.fr/

It takes less than 1/2 of a second for the ISS to transit the surface of the sun, (.49 of a second so it's not much less) so this guy must be good!

You need a "builder"! :yh: Plenty of them here on LPF, GooeyGus did a build for me but I haven't seen him post in a while, I sent him all the parts and he worked his magic. Take your pick, there's a bazillion members here that would do a great job of building what you want. :beer: Ray

Do you have images of the "innards" AT? I'd like to see the HS and reflectors on the tri 7 if possible. Thanks in advance, Ray

It's not as big as you think (and you're right, it IS built like a tank), from the objective to the screw mount the lens is only 10" long. Tripod is a must for this lens and as you can probably tell it has a razor thin DOF at closer distances. Here's another from 50'.....

Jpeg from 50 ft. using the MTO 1000mm right out of my "old" K100DS ( no cropping or PP what so ever) Couldn't find AA's for my scale but it seems to weight about 4 lbs. Ray

I just had to delete 40 E-mails because of a linkback. Who did it!

I don't know TJ. I don't think it looks crude at all, I really like it, in fact it looks like a gadget from a Jules Verne movie. The fact that FML fabricated this by hand makes it more desireable IMHO. :beer:

Heck yes that's cool! (I watched the whole 7:24 video, I was mesmerized) :bowdown: Did you have any vibration problems FML? Balancing that thing must of been a real PITA. Ray

I was reading about this the other day, pretty cool stuff!

The man did say "OBO" from his second post............GEEEZE! :whistle:
