It's always been my aspirations to get into astrophotography, especially deep space objects.

Last night I got together with some friends and their telescopes. I brought along my *ist D.
This was shot with a 1540mm f11 telescope (Orion Starmax or something) and the *ist D in prime focus (telescope acting as the primary lens). ISO 200, 1/10".

No real processing except for contrast adjustment, cropping, and a little sharpening.
Focusing through the telescope was very difficult, so this isn't as sharp as I would have hoped. It gives us more reasons to try again. This is a nice little telescope for photography though, as it has T-threads right on the eyepiece mount, was reasonably priced, and very compact.
