Description

Turns out the Tamron SP 150-600 isn't a great lens/scope when using a astro camera that does not power the internal electronics of the lens. This means one of the internal image stabilisation lense elements is not aligned and moves about freely and wobbles, and causes horrible image aberrations. Additionally it is so very hard to focus near infinity.
