now you have done it, got me off on another quest, but not until winter. These two I took back in January 2022 with a Df and a cat lens. Now that I have some better gear, especially lens, I'll have to try again! It is really difficult, it's moving so fast, and I was told to pre-focus on the moon or a star, but I found it still goes in and out of focus with distance, at least with that fixed aperture lens.
Series:
like the Hubble it compresses the light travel distance that is the "mm" measurement of a lens by using a mirror inside the lens. In this case I used a 1960's era 1000mm lens with a converter to make it a 2000mm, but it's old technology and not up to today's optics or digital sensor quality. They also have an optical flaw by today's standards, with a hot spot in the center that comes across as vignetting in a large picture, and the bokeh is always a doughnut.

You have caught the needle in a very large haystack! Beautiful shot. This really helps me get out of myself and the damn pain.
Thank you! 
If this backyard shot is therapeutic to view, all the better.
I hope the pain's diminishing.
It was bad when I woke up but now it’s receded a bit. Being distracted by your beautiful photo really helped!
