Description

Legitimately the first (decent) light with my new Apertura FPL-53 60mm apochromatic refractor.  First reasonably clear night in months.  This scope pairs well with the Apertura adjustable field flattener, but not with the Hotech SCA field flattener.  M31 is so huge that finding the right combination of focal length and camera sensor is challenging, but I think this combination of 360mm FL with an APS-C sensor does a really nice job.
