This one has a VERY small diffraction spike, so will need to investigate and mitigate (I think one of the foil lens spacers, which means I make a knife edge baffle just lightly larger than the objective diameter to hide it).
The FSQ85 looks like a great scope! Sharp stars all around! Wish i had one
