Afocal M37 04/03/08

[Whippy]

The one I didn't manage to do last time I was out and annoyingly, it's a little out of focus but I've managed to get rid of most of the light pollution in Photoshop so it's been saved a bit . Anyways, it's the usual setup: Canon Powershot, 21mm Hyperion with Neodynium filter, C8N and EQ6. Enjoy!

Stonking shot, M37 is one of the clusters I always look at when I'm observing, it seems to stand out well.

Once again Tony, nice shot. Are these stacked images or single shots?

[Whippy]

Ah yes, sorry I should have said, these are the best 32 out of 41 15 second shots. Thanks Steve .

You've had a great tour of the Auriga clusters Tony, and you have delivered splendid images mate.

I like your style with your afocal method, you make it look easy.
