First light for FSQ106

A month ago I bought a replacement for the TSA102. I spent over a year looking around for the new scope that I wanted. I looked at scopes with much larger aperture and with faster ratios, but in the end I went with a reliable performer; a Takahashi FSQ. It gives a slightly wider field of view from the TSA with a reducer on and is certainly a little faster photographically.

I thought I would start with Corona Australis first. I will need to take some shorter subs to control the globular cluster. This image is 270 minutes in Lum.
