This is my first real try with a $30 T mount lens I found on Ebay (more info here). I stopped it down to f/4 and guided with a Tak FS-60C on my old trusty Vixen GP/DX. The GP/DX uses the WinCTC controller. I experimented with several techniques to reduce the size of the stars while agressively stretching the nebula. I think I had as much fun with this experiment as I do with the scopes and mounts I own which cost much more!
