80/385 - with a reducer. As always with our weather - to manage to see at least something while the sky is clear.

Good detail. The color balance is just a bit off. But that's probably typical for shooting with a refractor.

The wind is strong, the mount is small—the refractor itself can deliver twice the detail, but only under calm conditions. We'll adjust the color later, once we've accumulated enough light frames.
