Just looking at it the field seems good, some out of focus stars would be good too.
I got it second hand. Originally the corrector plate was shimmed already to the right so I guess it was for compensating for the same problem I saw in the baffle tube. But I don't know for sure if the tube had been opened before. My concern was not knowing if the corrector plate and secondary should be exactly centered in the tube regardless of any offset seen within the baffle tube.?
