I'd love to get out and take some night sky shots, but i haven't seen it in over a week. So instead I've been playing with my new Raynox attached to my 55-250. These were all shot at F32 and that still doesn't leave a lot of DOF.

I love all these images. Great to see something different and creative. That shot with the pin head is a winner. Great lens you have. Thanks for posting those  Smiley

Thanks very much Martin. The pin head shot was a so and so to setup, but an interesting challenge that took quite some time to achieve.
