Description

First light test of my ZWO ASI1600MC on the Apertura 60 FPL53 ED.

This was a test of the field flatness after moving my ASI1600MC and filter wheel to the 60ED. I measured extensions and filter wheel with my micrometer, added 6.5mm for the camera, then dialed up about 750 microns on the Apertura field flattener. This is the uncropped result using M45 as my test field. Dither was limited to just the normal drift.
