First light of the new Sharpstar SCA310/3.8
Sorry about the background — it turned out poorly due to several factors: no flats, shooting on different days at different angles with a gradient from local light pollution, since the instrument was still being adjusted and a full image wasn't planned.
I stacked all the test frames that weren't completely terrible in terms of FWHM, threw away the rest, and had to crop out 50% of the frame area.
In short, just look at the object if you're interested.
Compared to my previous SCA260/5, this one at least has a point, and the level of spherical aberration doesn't seem shocking :)

Try stacking the same frames with drizzle 2, it should be better in resolution.
I always stack the sums with it, but this time Pix gave an error about being unable to drizzling during stacking.
I haven't looked into the reasons in detail yet — the frames are mostly unusable anyway and need to be properly re-shot.
