M67 - Open Cluster in Cancer

[coatesg]

A quick RGB run on M67 - mostly as a test bed for a new guiding setup (OAG in fromt of the camera, rather than the in camera guide chip behind the filters). Guiding was fine, sky conditions were fairly average, and there was a reasonably full moon in the sky for some of the subs which didn't help!

SBIG ST2000XM, WO FLT110 + FLAT4 on the Titan, taken on 15/20th March 2017.

R:G:B = 90:75:65 in 5 min subs.

Really nice star colour you have here. The stars seem a bit bloated, presumably down to hazy conditions? But in a way this actually helps the colour shine.

Yep - transparency wasn't great, which explains the bloat...! Not also helped by a bright moon, so definitely one to try again at some point. But, it proved the equipment changes so not all bad.
