All this is a cropped image of NGC 7000, North America Nebula with the Pelican nebula. This was done with a 110mm @ f5.6 Mamiya RZ lens mounted on an SBIG ST-2000XM ccd camera. Exposure is binned 1x1, 15 minutes each with Astrodon LRGB filters.
This was taken 6-30-08 UT at my Aunt's cabin above Kenosha Pass, CO. 10,240 ft. elev. Bad seeing. not bad image.

Joe,

Can I please trouble for some details as to how you mated the ST-2000XM to the lens? I also have an ST-2000XM with CFW10 and I would love to do something similar with my Canon FD and EOS lenses.

Thanks and nice image!

Anthony.
