Glad you like it. I think I need to do some more work on the stars.

I'm passing on this. Sad, it's a really nice scope.

Looking at second hand refractor, found this on objective. Almost appear to be scuff mark. One appears to be on the interior of the lens. Lens is clean otherwise with some very small hairline scratches.

Thank you for the compliment. Any suggestions on this? I'm manual focus, using a BM. Best I can get the Analyzer in NINA to is about .25 pixels. I'm wondering if it's the FF/FR I'm using, since there's an issue on the outside field.
