Astrophotography 🔭🌌 with the SVbony SV48P 90mm Achromat
A few Deep Sky Astrophotography images taken with the SVbony SV48P 90mm f/5.5 air spaced doublet achromat refractor telescope, with 2 inch rotatable Crayford double speed focuser. Bought this one new on SVbony EBay two weeks ago for $253 (with coupon) tax and ship included. A pretty good deal imho.

There is btw a shiny metal ring on the front lens that needs to be blocked out in some way, say with a thin paper ring or black paint, otherwise is causes weird internal reflections on bright stars.
