M31
I finally figured out a way to attach one of my Canon lenses to the CB245. I used the ring from my Lumicon CEG that normally connects to the t-ring and a _load_ of electrical tape! Well... It only fell off twice! ;o) I think one of those lens adapters from UO is in my future. These 2 shots were taken with a (very) old Canon 28mm lens. I'd love to have a shot with my 200mm zoom but the darned thing is way too heavy for the tape 'solution'. <g> The blur in the corner is due to frost on the CCD.
