I thought others might be interested to see just how bad the internal reflections are in the GSO RCs from Andrews. These are images taken tonight of NGC4945 and 4976. They are 5 minute subs (5 in 4945 and 2 in 4976) at iso800 in a Canon 1000D with a master flat applied. The stacked elliptical bands are bad enough but note also the bright rays like sunlight through cloud, coming in from the mid left side.
I would be very interested to hear from other RC owners experiencing similar problems. It seems to me that these scopes, marketed as the imager's dream, are in fact a shocker; unfot for the purpose for which they were sold.
