Description

An opportunistic purchase via an online auction. Having started with an 80mm APO, I was curious to see how well an ED Achromat performs as an entry level Astrophotography telescope. It comes with no field flattener but a 1.25" focuser T-Adapter is supplied to get started with a T-Ring for DSLR or Micro-4/3 camera.

I intended to a add a field flattener (0.08 or 0.85x) but later decided to experimenter with a 0.6x and post images on this experiment, as whilst everal forum said it would not work well, I found images hard to find that showed this.
