Description

This was intended to be a test shot after collimating my telescope. The image plane is not flat because I swapped my tilt corrector for an OAG. The extra set of diagonal spikes is caused by a loose piece of felt flocking on the inside of the tube.

Star colors look great though. I was never able to get such good star colors with my triplet apo refractor.

My previous attempt was not posted on Astrobin, but can be found on this blog page: https://astrovirusblog.wordpress.com/2018/02/09/m35-and-ngc-2158/
