Description

This was about an hour after the FedEx guy dropped my new Williams Optics Redcat 51 on my porch. I was waiting for Orion to rise over my fence when I realized I could likely frame the entire Hyades with this little scope. It's one of my favorite asterisms. So this is just a test shot of less than an hour, but it meant something to me to be able to photograph the entire Hyades, so I'm sharing. Minimally processed.
