First image with flattener

Got a brand spankin new skywatcher flattener reducer for my ed80. Got to test it out tonight albeit bright moon and thin clouds. I only managed to get 3 lights before it was complete cloud cover. Mixture of 5 min and 2.5 min subs at iso400. Im so glad I can frame eta in to one frame without crazy field curves around the edges. I MAY have oversaturated it a tad bit since I was lacking exposure time

EDIT: the jpg looks terrible at 200kb

field looks pretty flat, I'd say the test was successful!

"None more flat" to quote Nigel Tufnell.
It blows me away how much more you get with a flat field.
