The Bad news is my focuser they could not fix, they could not undo the screws. The interesting part is I was able to undo them all myself. So I have to be content for a while with no focuser.
This is the a very large Nebula that is quite prominent in the Milky way. For the very first time I was able to see the planetary nebula just out to the right.

Shows up better in this shot the very small blue dot what is a planetary nebula Helix is another example of one..
My shot is with the nikon lens and I am still staggered the amount of detail in the shot.
this is a a 900 mm shot of the center.

Still does not look like no chicken. Many thanks a great old lens well worth the small cost many years ago.
