Description

First true light with the ED80. I definitely need a field flattener, even with a small sensor.

EDIT: The scope was delivered defective with a loose objective - depending on luck and how it was slewing, sometimes the distortion was tolerable, and other times it was extreme. The scope was replaced in December of 2017.

Description: Fixed the weird aspect ratio and made some changes to selective color. It's still a flawed image due to a loose objective (wasn't diagnosed until November of 2017), but I'd like to try again.
