Test with reducer - f/6.9 - unbinned (030 sec.)

A single, short exposure to eliminate/reduce effects of any tracking errors.

Some distortion is visible but similar to distortion I've seen in unreduced images, perhaps due to mirror locks or CCD plane tilt since the reducer may not sit quite squarely on the adapter plate. Will discuss with Optec.
