Description

This was a first test of my Z61 refractor after I installed the William Optics field flattener.  I am quite happy with the job the field flattener did.  Without the flattener the Z61 did a poor job on the edges of the field.  I used the L_enhance filter since I was shooting in my back yard against a very light sky.  The L_enhance did emphasize the HII red in the nebulae in the galaxy.
