Description

This is the first light for my Askar 103APO and there are some good and some bad things going on here. Overall, I'm pleased with the final image but there is an issue I am experiencing with star shape. I've run several tests since this was taken and after talking with Askar this issue might only be fixed by sending the scope back to the manufacture. This has become quite a roadblock as the cost of shipping would be around $1350 USD (I have no idea why it's this much. I could literally buy a plane ticket to China with it in a suitcase as a checked bag for slightly less). In the meantime, I have found that I can process most (not all) of the issue out of the image using Blur X in Pix and to be honest I'm OK with the results. The weather here has been doo doo so unfortunatly this first light was a short one but I'm anxious to see how it does with some longer integration times. See Rev. B for the original before trying to fix the stars.
