Description

Not your normal astrophotography image.

Its a raw unprocessed (other than a stretch to show the stars) 5 second test exposure through the AD250 with my camera setup. 656 Imaging collimated the scope with a laser, which would normally get you 90% of the way to a flat field. You would then make the fine adjustments using stars. However the AD250 was so well set up at this point that we recon it 99.9% perfect at this point.

It was fantastic to be able to use a new scope 'out of the box' without all the messing to get it adjusted for your kit before you could start doing anything.
