Re: [APML] Petzval hot spot?

[steve banbury <banburys@sonic.net>]

I have a TV101 and if anyone is interested can put up some 35 mm film
images when I get home tonight that definitely show a hot spot.
A friend suggested the hot spot might be more apparent for slightly out
of focus cases, so I assumed things would get better when I improve my
focus.
The uneven illumination is not a major pain, but it is definitely
noticeable. 
Perhaps when people spend that much on a scope, they don't want to dwell
on its "shortcomings".
