the details are on the Astrobin technical page. You can click on the boxed image to go to a full screen view. As always with jpg conversions for Astrobin, some of the fine detail is lost in translation from the post-processing TIFF version.
This image is primarily a field size test for now, and I am happy with that result. I have to investigate what appears to be some tilt in the lower left corner of the image. |

There is a focuser tube rotation lock, and i suspect that might something to check next time. It was located 180 degree opposite that corner of the camera. The Nikon 48mm adaptor also has an adjustment ring with three recessed grub screws, it is possible that this could be the culprit. |
Right. The faster the scope the more sensitive it is to this sort of thing.
