First light Askar FRA300 pro Tarantula widefield

[Nikolas (Nik)]

3 hours using the ASKAR FRA300 PRO a petzval quintuplet that lives up to it's name of flat fields.
Optolong L-Extreme.
I did not shoot any flats so there may be a sensor pattern highlighted by the L-Extreme but pretty happy with a first light of this new scope.

Congratulations on first light Nik! Nice image.

The new scope looks to be very capable. I'm planning to replace my AstroTech ED65 with a new wide field imaging scope and the ASKAR is one I'm considering.
