Little red Vixen returns.

Last Saturday's solar eclipse got me thinking about my old Vixen refractor; the telescope I used to take my 2015 solar eclipse images.

       2015 Partial Solar Eclipse

One of my good friends bought the Vixen refractor from me some nine years ago.

Over the years I have often thought of that little scope.

Being that we now live in our motorhome, that little refractor would be ideal for mobile observations.

With a bit of messaging and bartering my friend and I made an exchange. 

One telescope for two pairs of binoculars.

It was great to have the little red Vixen back again.

Here are a couple of Vixen images from last night:

They were taken with the "wobbling all over the eyepiece" Samsung phone camera method.
