Description

Against all odds, the first night after the arrival of my new camera and scope was not only a clear one, but also coinciding with a New Moon and also particularly transparent since this was the first sunny day after four days of rain.
The new equipment worked up to expectations and even better, the only thing that surprised me was the field curvature showing up already on the 183MM sensor.
Given my past experience with a refractor of similar focal length (the Stratravel 80) I thought it would have been visible only on the corners of my DSLR APS-C sensor.
Presently I have no flattener fitting a DSLR, but I should be able to use the Starizona one I just bought for the Evoguide 50 also on this scope, albeit only for the ZWO cameras.
Not that I really love all the pantomime coming with precise spacing when you have to deal with flatteners ...
