I recently purchased a new C-8 w/XLT coatings. I was able to get out tonight for a first test. Looking at Saturn or a star I get a circular white glow around the object being viewed. It is not a ring but more like a large glowing disk that washes out some detail while viewing Saturn. I checked collimation and it was a little off so I corrected it. It did not make a difference. Does anyone know what this light glow is covering the majority of the center of my field of view?
