Well, a rough and ready first light (For me) with the ES18 and I am pretty happy so far. I pulled the scope out and briefly set up in the shadow of the garage to keep the moonlight off me and had a quick look though it.
There is some slight false colour on bright stars in about the last 10% of the FOV (If that, maybe less) but it seems to have the best match for the field curvature of my SCT of any EP I own. Stars are noticeably sharper in the outer portion of the FOV than in my 68 degree Meade EP.
Pretty happy so far, now to save up for it's bigger brother.
