Took the trusty '92 Field Q out last night. Photos were taken using a ZWOASI178MM camera-no Barlow.

Very nice shots!  Calm skies in Hereford?  Of course, those Q's do seem to cut thru any conditions....

Thanks. Actually, there was quite a bit of turbulence. The Moon never settled down when viewing on the laptop. I was surprised they came out as good as they did. It was very quiet night, no dogs barking- not even a coyote!

Thanks! A "Field" Model is just the scope without the Duplex arms/base.

Field models are cool! I wouldn’t mind getting one some day to complement my standard.
