I think the FOV is around 300 mm according to my star program

Thanks for posting the image. I have been wanting to shoot it down here in Florida but the weather hasnt cooperated.

Ron - Thanks! I used a Canon 70D and a Canon 200 mm f/2.8 lens for the images. I cropped in on the final image, giving a similar FOV as a 300 mm lens on a crop sensor. I feel for you ... I cant get any images of the new comet Machholz because of poor weather!
