Taken with a used Soligor FD 200mm F/D 3.5 Teleobjective (bought for $40!) and an adapter for Canon EOS Camera (this is an old Teleobjective for non-digital 35mm camera).
With the adapter the focal length is increased to 250mm.
The teleobjective was stopped at approximately F/D 4
9 exposures of 104 sec on Digital Rebel XTi - no filter
Guiding: Atlas Mount - the Camera and Teleobjective was piggybacked on an Orion Onyx 72ED.
Processing: MaxIm DL and Paintshop Pro
