Also, investing in a Coma Corrector will eliminate the elongated stars at the edges. You have a T-Ring to connect your camera to the telescope, I assume? The CC will screw into this and then slide into the 2 inch eyepiece holder. Good luck!  |
Oh is it pretty certain that's coma? I had wondered exactly what was causing it. I attached a single frame capture if it helps. I had been resisting spending on a coma corrector so far, but might need to bite the bullet I guess ;-) Thanks so much for your feedback.
