First Light is a special event worth celebrating for any camera or telescope. This time it's both, with a Dwarf Mini smart telescope. Taken from a parking lot, I sat it on the roof of the car and started configuring/capturing.
The image is Pleiades, a star cluster 444ly from earth. While I only had about 5 minutes exposure time, it was a good #firstlight
Note - included before/…

A dark shot with 7 points of light. It's a starfield, specifically, Pleiades, a star cluster 444ly from earth
