Description

First light with my new scope that i have originally purchased back in March. It's a pleasant change from managing a massive newtonian and its own little quirks during the galaxy season. This Askar is a gorgeous scope that produces pin point stars and a very flat field. I'm very pleased with how well it performed during its first trial.

I've taken some artistic liberties with naming this target, inspired by an earlier submission from @Blueseed . This entire region is really ripe for exploration, and the Niagara Falls-looking portion really adds depth even with non SHO-style colour palette.
