Description

This was a test shot.  The moon was out and seeing was not great but I have received my Flar61A as well as my Flat68iii to fit my Z61 and AT130 and this is first light for the Flat61A reducer and the Z61/asi2600 combination.  I spent quite a while fussing with the spacers I had before I realized one part of the camera field rotator had to come off the focus barrel. After that the Adjusting aspect of the Flat61R worked well, although I need one last bit of fine tuning.  I will definitely give M31 another try with a darker sky after the final adjustment for the corners.  Also I noticed a sort of tail on NGC205 so I left it in.
