New Telescope: The Askar 80PHQ - Initial Impressions and First Light

Hello Everyone,

Very exciting video this week because I have been sent a new telescope to review from Sharpstar Optics: the Askar 80PHQ. I get to use the scope for a few months before sending it back, so if you have any questions about the telescope for the full review please let me know.

In this video, I give my initial impressions and collect first light on the Cygnus wall, using the the Askar 80PHQ.
