Description

Captured from my bortle 7 backyard. This is also a real first light with the Askar 500 since it's been mostly cloudy and raining here and / or I'm busy with work or traveling (with my other scopes).
Overall quite happy with the Askar and is going to be my go-to travel scope. I did a crop to get rid of the frame alignment but the image quality has been acceptable through the edges. This is also my foray into 6200mm; a full-frame camera that I've avoided since it's sensitive to tilt and spacing.

20 x 2min subs in each of L, R, G, B using Baader 2" filters.
