Description

The C11 with Starizona reducer used in this photo belongs to my local friend that let me try it out. It's rare to find a telescope that produces a flat field image for my QHY600, this telescope and reducer combination absolutely blew me away. I decided to try bin 1 at close to 0.3 "/pixel image scale because rare atmospheric conditions allowed my base model Cem70 to guide around 0.5 for 2 nights solid.
