Well, thanks to @Nightfisher, I acquired my used 130P-DS in January. Wednesday was the first time I could try it out. I was very keen to see if I could get along with imaging with this scope because for two years I have battled with a 4" triplet ED refractor and finally this month I secured my full refund. That is a story for another time and place and a few beers. For that, I could have purchased 15x 130P-DS models.
So using my 60Da I grabbed 32 subs of the Pacman nebula region before the cloud drifted in. My main objective was to see what sort of field and star shapes fell out of it. Why didn't I do this in the first place? I am quite happy to live with star spikes at this price point. It was a complete doddle compared to battling with flatteners and orthogonality issues and the rest. I must admit I have over processed it I think but for a first photon capture at f/5 I am very pleased with the set up.
Here it is in my obsy.
This is the image.
I am not too worried about my processing failures but the star shapes for a first effort are way better than I am used too. There is very slight coma in all corners but its even and that is just spacing to play with. The focuser has taken a tiny 'pacman' style bite out of the top of my stars but that is also a well known issue with the stock focuser tube length. Easily spotted and sorted. Am I chuffed? You bet; for the outlay on the OTA how can it be any other way.
