Congrats on your new AP130GTX. I have the AP130GT and its a wonderful scope. I really quite like the 130mm aperture. Light, portable but super sharp and easy to use.
Yes, the background could be handled more with Gradient Xterminator or Pix Insight ABE or DBE tools or using the "apply image" Photoshop handling.
Is this with the flattener? The flattener and the quad TCC are both very worthwhile accessories. I would grab them as I noticed the flattener for some earlier models were no longer available and Roland did a special run so you can't assume these accessories will be available forever. Roland could also retire at any time and you don't know what effect that may have on these.
I also use manual focuser on mine at the moment as I need a different diameter part for my Starlight Express Posi drive focuser.
Greg.
