[ATM] Lurie-Houghton real word picture

I wanted to pass this along for anyone who wants to see a real world picture 
from a Lurie-Houghton Newtonian.  I did a side by side comparison of my 
homemade 6" f/4.5 standard and Lurie-Houghton Newtonians.  I imaged a 
sequence of star images outside focus, through focus, and inside focus.  I 
did a sequence both on axis and 0.5º off axis.

When I was trying to figure if I wanted to build a Lurie-Houghton, I 
couldn't find many pictures actually taken through a Lurie-Houghton.  
Hopefully this will help anyone who comes after me to make their decision by 
going beyond spot diagrams.

I would still love to see something through a Wright Newtonian.
