Excellent photo! Dmitry Dmitrievich's Maksutov telescope is beyond praise for lunar and planetary imaging! I want to get a MAK 180, the only problem is thermal stabilization.

Thank you! Yes, even my 150mm, which isn't particularly large, takes a long time to cool down. I usually observe from the balcony: I set it out in the morning, and by evening it's well cooled and ready to go. And if I manage to observe something regularly, I can leave it on the balcony for the entire season.
