Comparing the William Optics GT71 refractor telescope (with Kenko 2x adapter) vs the Canon RF 800mm Camera Lens. I’m not sure if I missed focus with the telescope but it seems the RF 800mm lens footage came in better than the telescope.

I know finances are tight for most everyone so don’t like to ask, but if you’re able to and would like to support me, I do have a page up over at Ko-fi.com where donations can be made: ko-fi.com/jayling_ohioskywatching/posts
