I finally put together my full deep dive on the Rokinon/Samyang 135mm f/2 — one of the best budget wide-field lenses you can get for astrophotography.
In the video I cover: • Real-world results with the ASI533MC Pro • Diagnosing & fixing lens tilt • The best mounts/adapters to buy (and which to avoid) • How to 3D-print your own lens rings + accessories • Example images shot on this setup • Why this lens is such a powerhouse at this price
If you’re thinking about adding the 135mm to your kit — or already have one — I think you’ll find something useful here.
This is my latest pic, the Rosette Nebula. A star forming emission nebula, it's about 5200 lightyears away and 65 lightyears across. It was taken on my main AP rig and processed in Siril and Photoshop. It's about 3 hours of exposure.

I made a "guest appearance" on my sister's channel, @BethUnboxes where we sampled a box of snacks from Poland! It's not astro related, but check it out https://youtu.be/TpnTP01oqaU?si=rjxdr...
