I bought a flatener .5 I think and had the exact same issue with a 115mm F7 scope. As I live out here in Bulgaria I never bothered to send it back which I should have. I too have an exact 55mm and it don't work. However as to whether it's tad short or the other way I am not sure, better people than me can tell. I never tried to get it right as I do not have any shims to try the correction. Alan

Much more difficult than you think. I have about 300meters of dry stone wall around my land and when I have repaired it I cheat with concrete as a glue. I have a barn made very much like this and it's a work of art. Alan

Lots of faint detail in that one, as good as any I have seen. Alan

Looks decent to me, maybe come back a bit. Out of focus star was all I ever did with my Meade 12 inch and I felt the results from it were always good. Alan

It's a wonderful shot, haze or not. Alan

A stunning image Rodd and the first time I have seen such a close-up. Alan

I tried a few Hyperions about 8-9 years ago and they were decent enough in an F10 scope but not as good any of my TeleVues. I was less than happy with them in an F6 scope though. Alan

Sad news indeed, on the back of I can't think of any place to post such bad new and this is well related to Equipment and also getting started, the only other section is maybe D.I.Y. If any of the other Mods or Admin decide it would be better elsewhere then I will leave it to them to move Alan

That's a beauty, lots of detail in there. Alan

As good as any image I have ever seen, stunning!! Alan

I can't recall ever seeing this before. I think you have done a great job and it's a lovely image, I'm calling it the Kookaburra Nebula. I've just had 3 nights on the trot but I've hurt my neck somehow so decided not to bother, there's always something this time of year. Alan

Stunning shot Rodd, one of your best in a very large list. Alan

Utterly brilliant well done. Alan

Outstanding, I do not ever remember seeing this one before. Alan

Lovely capture, I can never see the name for this one though. Alan
