Sorry for your demeanor. The pincushion shown in that image equaled the pincushion observed in a Takahashi Abbe and a ZAO. So was at the typical minimal level that today's orthoscopics have.
On your other points I think you are confusing matters. This was not an optical bench test, but a field performance test...hence the common title of "First Light". If you want a bench test on optical measuring equipment I would encourage you to conduct this, or solicit others who do this to take up the task. Look forward to you posting us some of your bench tests!
btw, I mentioned the scopes I used...three different ones as specified is the article, as is the correct spelling of my name: "Paolini" and not "Paoloni".
