Beautiful Marc!
Askar 180
. I've been drooling over an Askar 130. About time to upgrade my Orion 80 CF, the coatings are failing on it.
I have abnormalities, but the lens is clean, the filters are clean, and the camera is clean. It's had 10 years of hard use. So I've been drooling again.

Hiya Matey.
I'm lucky enough to have both the FMA 180 & 130mm
They are great little scopes, very good for wide view imaging.
That's an impressive widefield Marc, I didn't even realize that area had whisps of cosmic cloud throughout. That's really cool friend, keep them coming. Gotta love this equipment used to capture these jewels.
