First light for this scope, SVBony MK127 Mak. While I did buy it for outreach events it does come with the .65 reducer so I have the intention of using it for some AP at times. I think it did a great job for such an inexpensive scope and also a reduced mak, something you never see. Collimation is a bit off, but will have to tweak it using a tri-bahtinov mask.

The only other scope I have that hits that 1000mm FL range is my TOA-130 and yes it's far superior but weighs a ton and takes a lot more time to setup. For winter this will be a nice way to get that FL if I want and don't have to freeze with long setup times in the cold.

Camera is a ASI585MM Pro with ZWO RGB filters and an SVBony IR pass filter for Lum. I want to see how bad the vignetting will be with an APS-C sensor and if flats can fix it.

75x100 sec Lum and 20x100 sec for RGB each.
