Yeah...300 light years away? Well done! :)

Your critique here by linking an article that explains the use of different filters on Hubble etc here is irrelevant. (I would add take images with different filters and then combining them is...

In terms of gaps, the Samyang 135mm f/2 seems to have a great reputation amongst astrophotographers and it's available in Fuji mount. It's been on my wish list for awhile now. Agree that the 60 is ...

I have not used the XF 56 or 50 at all, but I have used the older XF 60 extensively for astrophotography and can heartily recommend it. It is very sharp and relatively free of coma and fringing ...

Hello Fuji X users! Does anyone own or has experience using a RedCat 51 APO on their Fuji X series? Experiences with the XT30 would be great as well, since I own one. If you do astrophotography ...

Just chiming in with a thought while reading these posts, it's amazing the nice little niche that Samyang / Rokinon have made for themselves in the astrophotography space (no pun intended!). It's ...

My new quitar...well why not, and apologise for the self indulgance! It's been helping me get through these tough times and iso. XT-30, XF 60 and Arcoss film simulation. Needed a break from ...

I like the Fuji shot better anyway. The white balance looks better and there is a "warmish" tinge to the Nikon shot. Contrast looks better as well. However, I would have used a much faster shutter ...

Some nice Autumn colours in Aus. Taken  with the XT-30 and XF-60. OOC JPEG and the Classic Chrome film sim, which I'm liking alot.

I've had both lenses. The Fuji 55-200 blows the el cheapo Nikon 55-200 VR away in terms of image quality, build, apperture, even autofocus in my opinion. The stabilisation even seems better on the...

Of course you can! I almost made the mistake of selling off my entire Fuji kit and going to Nikon full frame DSLR. I changed my mind at the last minute when I took a look at all of the lenses that ...

Outside of all of the negative comments here, I think the images look great. I like the contrast and colours...and no fake, over-cooked HDR in site. :)

Terribly sad and condolences to his family and friends. This virus is a nightmare...far out, he was only a year older than I am, and here I am thinking its only the elderly that need to worry. ...

It's well built. Had mine for 7 years and still doesn't miss a beat. Get's better with age as it focuses faster on the newer bodies. A lens built to last and I wouldn't worry about it's durability. ...

A bit of a grab shot, but I had a couple of noisy Rainbow Lorikeets (a common Australian parrot) feeding near my house this morning. First time I've used my 55-200 with my new XT-30 and it did ...

So read through the big headline and all of the waffle: "autofocus speed. Not improved enough". Tired of hearing about autofocus, autofocus, autofocus when it comes to Fuji cameras. I'm sure it's...

Looks good. Interesting but pricy, which is the main negative. Still, it definately could cut short a huge learning curve.

It's the internet that magnifies differences of opinion and makes things seem more polarised than they are. Most people here are well aware that these are products and that most of us a free to ...

He may need the Barlow to achieve prime focus. I know on my 6" Dobsonian reflector I can't get prime focus without the Barlow. However, many Barlow's are 2 piece and you can unscrew the lens ...

If you have one of those 2 piece Barlows, you can unscrew the Barlow element and it just acts like an extension tube. So in the situation you describe with too much magnification, unscrewing the ...
