Description

Kind of a delayed firstlight for my Astrotrac for which i bought the TS Imaging Star 71 since my Nikon tele lens only gave mediocre image quality. This image also isn`t perfect because of the tilted focus plane (star size changing from left to right) which in fact is caused by either a tilted sensor or (what i suspect) a non coplanar filter glass that was installed by a company that shall not be named here. Anyway if not magnified too much, i can live with the result. I also have to improve my polar alignment routine, since stars are slightly eggy.
