This is me
As I said on another forum, refractors are the best things for beginners. There's so much to learn with this hobby, us newbies don't need to add learning about all the requirements of reflectors to that list, even if they do offer the best bang for buck. For many of us coming from terrestrial photography, refractors are just dumbed-down lenses, so we can pick up the requirements easily.
For me, I've got one refractor (in the sig) and the next OTA will also be another refractor (130 f/7)
After that, I'll jump into reflectors with a RCT but that won't be for a few years.
Anywho on topic, this is a fine image. Feels a little foreboding, which is great. I can almost see Cthulhu himself peeking through.
