New tiny Tak refractor test image - thoughts?

Meet the little engine that could.

I recently picked up a small 60mm Tak for portable imaging/star parties etc, and for a bit of sneaky visual: FOA-60mm with dedicated Tak 0.93x flattener/reducer.

Here is first light. A single, 5min guided exposure with a Canon 6D. No darks/flats/bias frames. Nil post processing. Manual/eyeball focus. Full size JPG here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5y4szgyhb...C3M94mbGa?dl=0

Thoughts on colour correction, field flatness and resolution? Other comments?

To my eyes, it compares favourably with my TOA/FSQ shots that I’ve produced in the past... but at a fraction of the cost and size!
