SQA55 vs Askar V on offer

[mossy spruce]

I'd been planning to buy an SQA55 for a while, but today I noticed that the Askar V is on offer at HPS for a serious discount. Even after taxes and shipping to the UK it's still about a third cheaper than I could get it normally. However, that's still 50% more expensive than I could get an SQA55 locally... So I'm weighing up versatility vs price. And also that the SQA55 undoubtably has better optics. Any thoughts?

I've heard so many good things! I'll probably end up getting one, once the skies actually get dark enough to use it.

Great pics, btw

Well it has been named the red cat killer though 😅 and thank-you. Iris was 4 nights of imaging at 5 hours a night. Can't remember on the heart think it was 2 nights.
