Star cluster , blob fuzzy thing cloud

[Mr TamiyaCowboy]

so yeah i must be getting blinder than i am i think, or i just fail at working camera lenses.

so the Target subject, Erm somewhere in the south southwest'ish sky , around that area

about yay high , to be honest i dont have a clue, i was trying to dodge jupiter in the south west - west.

ISO 800, 20s exposure, F2.2, tungsten, center weighted metering with a canon 350D and a canon nifty fifty f1.8 II

i have attached said picture , its a bit cloudy as you can see but the sky was clear as cookies when i was setting up and taking shots.

please feel free to flame /setfire to the image and / or offer advice. ( i suck at getting this 50mm in focus, no focus window not good canon !!! )

oh maybe some sort of clue on where /what this cluster is lol i can add it to my seen list lol.

That cluster is The Praesepe aka The Beehive or M44 if you like, nice capture considering you have clouds and trails.

Down at the bottom left would have been M67, you just cut it off.

[wxsatuser]

If you don't mind I cropped your image and put an arrow where M67 is.

[Mr TamiyaCowboy]

Thank you. 

Wow beehive cluster , am stoked to grab that, i had seen clusters in the telescope ( 50mm finderscope)

but never a grab and shoot. 

The above image was taken in portrait mode M67 is the bottom of the frame. it did go

a lot more higher but, the upper section has a Halo of rainbow coloring along the top horizontal.

hence the heavy cropper hand

thats awsome detail tam to get from a 20 sec sub!!! i will have to have a try at the bee hive

great work

[Mr TamiyaCowboy]

i think its bad, very saturated in red/orange and i know what it is to, its a combo.

my street has those new white bulbs in, yeah great its white, but they never changed the canopys.

so a lot of light is thrown in a super wide fov. that includes up. add the fact the clouds coming over in wispers

means im catching the light pollution.

i rinsed this hard in canon software to cut down and boost contrast, but could not remove the red/orange glow.

and i slipped when holding the camera hence the slight stretching of stars. the others in the session ( about 10mins max )

are even worse, this was third from last out of 12 images ( by then my hands was so cold i think they froze still lol).
