Description

This is my first photo with my new scope - the 80mm APO from TS. It is used with the TS 0.79x reducer. The spacing is somewhat too long (approx. 10mm) and I wonder if this is the cause for the severe optical distortion that can be seen. I was also not careful with the framing so this maks the effect even worse, It looks like the distortion is more pronounced in the one half of the frame so it might also be a problem with tilt in the optical train. So still some more work to be done with this imaging platform, but anyway I'm very happy with the result so far!
