One of the Auriga clusters

[blinky]

I would be grateful if somebody could tell me what of the 3 Auriga clusters this is :?

Anyway the image was captured last Monday evening, it's only 3 subs as the 'scope started hitting the triod legs What I am chuffed with is the alignment, this was 3X 1 Min unguided subs and the Stars look more or less round to me. For 3 mins of data I think it's not too bad I also never took any darks as I thought the little data I had was useless

lovely colour in the stars craig, a nice image , slight movement there craig, but as u say u were getting close to the legs , its nearly spot on , just a wee bit more and you are there , but take that as being a very nice good go .

Thanks for the comments Rog. I did another stack in DSS and used the Kappa Sigma Clipping one (Means nothing to me!) and whilst it was stacking the angle offsets were only 0, 0 and 0.1 but when using the normal combine option the offsets were all 0.1. I suppose I just need to keep an eye on this in future.

Hi Craig

I think it's M37. Nice image for unguided.

Cheers, Martin

Nice open cluster Craig, the Auriga bunch can be confusing and sometimes difficult to Identify when you seem them in Isolation.

I am going to plump for M38, which is not as dense as M37. .

Anyway, it's a good shot of whichever one it is.

The image is very very nice. I don't have a clue which it is though.
