About this image

Not entirely satisfied with the image quality (bloated stars) and am unsure whether this is solely due to seeing conditions or if some optical factors may also be contributing. That said, operating a half-fork mount inside a dedicated dome is fantastic, no need to worry about unexpected gusts of wind or performing meridian flips.
