Description

This is first light with the Redcat 71 on a 19x13 mm sensor (ASI294MM Pro).
​​
I'm sorry to say it but I'm disapointed with coma, elongated stars, (most of it cropped), side to side discolored stars, erratic star spikes, and  chromatic aberation (stars in blue channel reduced 20%),

I have decided to r​​​eturn the RedCat 71, because I think it takes to much work to get descent images out of it, not counting the discolored stars in, as they are very hard to fix. 
​​​​​​
This is very unfortunate as I like the form factor of the scope and it's otherwise sharp images.
