I received my new Stellarvue Access 80 ED yesterday. Luckily it was also a clear night! I set the scope up on my AZ-GTI in EQ mode and shot 1 minute subs. I probably could have went a little longer as the mount was tracking GREAT, I only had to reset it for the meridian flip.
So far, I am really liking the scope. I am using The Stellarvue SFF3-25-48 field flattener, but I still see pretty bad coma around the edges using a full frame DSLR. with a slight crop they are gone though.
Specs for the image are:
Scope: Stellarvue Acess 80 with 2.5" focuser, SFF3-25-48 field flattener
Focal Length: 560mm
Focal Ratio: F7
Camera: Pentax K-1
ISO: 1600
Exposure: 60 sec.
Shots: 100
I used Astro Pixel Processor for stacking. I am still learning the ropes with this program, so I am sure I am not doing things 100% correctly yet. I post processed in Photoshop and also in Nik Effects plugin.
Here is the photo. Andromeda 100-60 sec 7 Dec 2018 by Andrew Marjama, on Flickr

I've been standing on a chair and holding my wife's hairdryer out the window to try to keep ours thawed. The resident Annas buzz all around me like bees until it's ready.

This is a very nice photo! I also have Anna's in my yard, but in Northern California where I it doesn't get quite as cold as what you experience. In winter when it is cold, they become very attached to my feeders, and if I take them in to clean and refill them, they will land on the feeder while I am still carrying it back out to hang it. I need to figure out a way to take a photo of this:)

I was in 7th grade (primary school) and under the Christmass tree, there it was, wrapped up and waiting for me... Smena 8M. Shooting with it required more guesswork than knowledge, but it was enough to get the bug biting and infecting me. Still infected :)
Right next to it, my current K-S1 with Sigma 17-50mm F2.8...
