This image demonstrates the wide field capabilities of the ED1026.
It is of M8 the Lagoon nebula & M20 the Trifid nebula taken with my new Orion field flattener for short focal refractors.
This corrects for the streaky stars at the far corners of the frame.
Details, 20x3min with 20sec delay, no dark subtraction, temp +5 degrees C, captured and processed with Nebulosity 2 software and PhotoShop.

This image is of NGC 6559 the bottom right hand corner shows edge of Lagoon nebula.
Details, 20x5min, 20 seconds delay, iso 1600, temp +5 degrees C. EQ6 mount, SSAG autoguider & PHD software.
Canon 1000D unmodified DSLR, Orion field flattener, Nebulosity 2 capture & processing, PhotoShop, minimal noise reduction in Neatimage.
Completely mismatched dark frame subtraction and flat frame, but it worked!
Notice how smooth the image is.
