Some CN members were complaining about comatic stars and the field not being flat enough. There does seem to be some variation in image quality including pac-man stars I saw in one photo.

I'm happy enough with this sample. It's not pixel peeping perfect, but the little bit of tilt might from my T ring. I need another one anyway so I'm going to order the WO copper T ring.

The only minor annoyances I had last night were that the M48 filter isn't all that easy to install/remove and that I have to mount my guidescope on a stalk to allow room for my DSLR. Oh, and the dovetail bar wasn't deep enough to fit the clamp on my vixen saddle.

Otherwise it's a nice little scope - field looks flat across my APSc chip. Focusing was easier than I expected - actually easier than R&P I'm accustomed to. Focus didn't seem to drift over the few hours I was using the scope. Fit and finish is very nice and there's no slop in anything.

The L-enhance filter did a good job of dealing with the nearly full moon.
