First light through the Williams Optics FLT98 APO was nothing less than awesome. The cloud bands on Jupiter showed highly detailed structure. M45 The Pleiades through the 14inch show only 4-5 stars with a 50mm 60 degree FOV eyepiece. The FLT with a 24mm 68 deg. FOV eyepiece showed all the stars of M45 as well as a larger area surrounding it.
