2nd night out with the Tak FS102. I re-aligned the mount and took this series of shots (7 X 5 minutes). They were shot at prime focus with Canon EOS 40D at ISO 400 with the 0.8 Field flattener and reducer removed.
Great shot, even with the reducer removed the field still looks very flat. It would be interesting to see the same shot with the reducer.
Maybe i should try the TV 85 without the reducer and see how flat the field is as every bit of focal length seems to help when imaging small objects like centaurus a.
