Using his SVX180T, Nicola Beltraminelli captured this image of M101. This image has been awarded "Top-picture nomination" in Astrobin. According to Nicola, "The scope is now remotely installed in Spain at the E-eye facility and is delivering fantastic results...In any case, I can say that the resolution I obtain with this refractor is no less than what can be achieved with instruments such as CDK17, possibly CDK20". We look forward to seeing many more stunning images taken with the highest-resolution telescope we have ever offered, the Stellarvue SVX180T
