Delmar Selection between Telescopes

Hello all,

I'm new to astrophotography and currently trying to decide between two telescopes as my first serious imaging setup. I'm considering either the Askar 65PHQ or the Askar FRA 400. From my research, both appear to be excellent beginner-friendly options, and I’ll be pairing the scope with a ZWO ASI294MC Pro.

I’m looking for a bit of advice from those with experience using either (or both) of these scopes. My main goals are ease of use, wide-field nebula imaging, and portability, as I’ll be using a lightweight mount (Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer GTi).

If anyone has insight into how they compare in real-world use, particularly regarding setup, imaging performance, and compatibility with the ASI294MC Pro, I’d really appreciate your guidance.

Thanks in advance and clear skies!
