I've just shown my wife and 8 year twin girls and they couldn't say are you going to get it fast enough 🤣

Pink, I ask you... whatever next 😜

TBH, looking at it makes me a little queasy...

There’s a thread about pretty telescopes - I think this definitely qualifies!

I was going to post about this one in there, but if I did, could it be topped?

Apart from having a slightly longer FL and being a bit slower does the 65phq have any advantages over FRA 300 pro. I'm currently looking at the red cat 51 the fra300 and this and can't see much between them to help me decide.

Probably better off making a new thread in the equipment section. Scopes / Whole Setups.
