20180908 Auriga Center
I find this field is one of the richest in the (northern) sky.
Retrying this with another (presumed better) vintage 135mm lens, an EQ mount and better PA, allowing longer subs.
Result is now much deeper, with IC405 (aka Flaming Star / C31) and IC410 showing nicely.
The field is also very crowded and may show all stars too bright, and with more obvious aberrations.
Compared to the short variant, the lens shows less coma but some "diagonal" astigmatism and irregular CA.
Glad with it however.
