I don't know why the PAS should be sick, it's clear enough in daylight, but from feedback from other users of the PAS, the comments have been similar, throw the illuminated finder away.



To be honest, I have only taken about half a dozen serious shots, and they were at the Qld Astrofest last year. These were only wide angle images with a 20 or 22mm lens, and as a first attempt, I was quite happy. However, they were not 100%, and I want to do better. Hence my question.

Attached is my effort to date, which combines 2 images stitched together, each approx 6 minutes at f 4.5 with an ASA setting of 800. A bit of coma is evident, or it may be bad tracking, or whatever.
