Good stuff Andrey.
Nice capture at twilight.

I got a view last night after the moon had risen.
Antares was not naked eye by then but both revealed through the SW 72 Evostar with the TV 22 Pan.

👍👍👍

There was a lot of room in the 22pan view. When I dropoed in my 4mm kk ortho Venus revealed a very colorful 4/6 disc. 😊
