Nice shot. Is this cropped? How much vignetting did you get?

Nexstar 5i OTA as a spotting scope

Posted By Chris Nardone

I talked to Celestron Today. I ordered a Mounting block and bolts (part #28907). The rep told me this is the part that allows a C-5 to attach to a standard photo 1/4-20 mount.
Also I ordered a new leg for my Nexstar 5i tripod. The plastic part at the top broke. i noticed Celestron came out with a "new" tripod. Basically the same but with metal tops to the legs.

Sorry for tampering with your shot. I played with it a little, not to make it better, but to make IDing easier.

There you go again! Did you use the tripod? I assume you are shooting f/10, what shutter? What ISO?
DOF seems very tight.

Great shot. Which 80 mm f/5? How was the camera mounted?
