Description

This was the first clear night I had after receiving and setting up my Stellarvue SVX-102T. My former scope was a WO Red Cat 51, so this was quite the step up in terms of aperture and focal length! Funny story: back when I was a kid and learning about the constellations, I of course would drag out my parents any chance I would get to share what I learned. My mom would often confuse the Pleiades for the litter dipper, so I ended up calling the Pleiades "Mom's teacup."
