Description

I bought my C8 EdgeHD used from AstroBuySell at a huge discount, knowing that there may be problems with the optical alignment. After fitting it with a Hyperstar and trying to collimate on multiple occasions, I could see that I was just not going to get the stars sharp enough. They all seem to be round on one side, and fuzzy on the other.

So I sent the scope off to a pro to take a look at. In the meantime I am trying to rescue some data sets that I took, by going back over the fields with my ED80 and taking RGB star images. This is of course testing my processing abilities to the max.

Until I get the collimation problem solved, I am not going to invest in the high speed filters - they each cost about what I paid for the scope!
