If you do a field test on Omega Cent you'll get a bulge in the middle of your field. The results are not 100% reproducible so don't rule out your system based on CCDIS only. Everything is relative also. The difference between the max and min FWHM is .5 "... C'mon! We're splitting hair here. I can live with a shot like that. Times over.
Totally agree with you Marc - a sane response

I really look forward to Berts efforts with this little Gem, I hope the Italians have her working like they do their Ferrari's.
