Description

I purchased the Astro-Tech CFT 90 mm apochromatic refractor for a traveling setup.  Despite very poor weather, I was able to take some test photographs with this new rig,   With the 0.8 focal reducer, my focal length is 432 mm f4.8.  So far I am very pleased with the telescope.  Stars are pinpoint and round with no coma and no chromatic aberration .
