Description

This picture was taken 3 years ago with a standard Newtonian telescope plus a coma corrector. You might say that it is out of focus but it is not. The coma corrector introduces spherical aberation which makes it impossible to get a sharp image. You can also still see coma. Compare this to my next picture.
