Hi, Thomas and all.

Yes. The light exposing the film came only from the plain Zuiko 300mm -- NO
telescope, teleconverters, etc.

However, the camera+lens was attached *mechanically* to the scope, just to
compensate for earth's motion with the help of the scope's mount. NO
optical attachment, though. This is called  a "piggyback" setup.

You can see a higher resolution scan of the very same picture at

:-(

Many thanks for your comments. Best regards,
