Description

Bortle 7 urban skies, some moon glow, good tracking at 0.6-0.8as on an image scale of 0.5as/px

I am starting to warm up to this combo of an RC8 + TS Optic field flattener + ASI6200MM full frame camera - not much vignetting (and the flats take care of that pretty well) and stars look good to the edges which is impressive plus >1 degree FOV on a 0.5as/px image scale which is handy for a lot of targets.
