Pentax KP at 1335 mm

I am now using a Pentax KP as my main astrophotography DSLR. Recently I have been testing this new setup using the Pentax KP and a Celestron 8 inch SCT with DIY reducer. Here are some photos taken at with this setup at 1335 mm focal length at f/6.6. I used an improvised adapter to attach the KP to this telescope.
