Description

The Dumbbell using my Baader Hyperion Zoom Mark III at 24mm with T-adapter.

This method introduced some severe aberrations to the stars closer to the edge of the field. I cropped out the worst, but you can still see the "comet" effect on the stars further from center.

I have solved this problem using a Denkmeier OCS-A45 (BIG thanks to Russ Lederman & Jeff Geidel!!!) . HIGHLY recommended for imaging with a Dob... as close to prime as you will get! Stars are now pinpoint across the field!
