I love it but it's limited to big targets. If you want to shoot galaxies (except Andromeda) it's a little limited. So.. I got a 2nd hand Stellina as the FoV is much narrower ! can't wait ..

I loved my Stellina and got wonderful images with it! Alas, it was just too heavy and unwieldy (they really need some handles on top!) as I got older. So I sold it and got a Vespera Pro. I love it too, but miss my Stellina.

I ll receive it today/tomorrow ! Unfortuantely I cannot try it before mid August or so... I live in Northern Europe so it's daylight almost 24/7 now

I understand. I lived in Alaska for 13 years. Long days. Short, or nonexistent, nights. But you can get excellent solar shots with it.
