Winters coming, M37 this am

[philj]

Hi guys

Despite high mist and heavy dew I stayed out till 03:30 observing and imaging, making up for lost time I tried imaging M31 but the mist just made the gradients in the processing silly. So I tried a few clusters and as the morning wore on Auriga was getting higher so I had a bash at M37.

Zenithstar FD80 with Hutech 300D, approx 10 minutes at ISO800. Guided by C11 and Mintron, yes C11 I know its a touch of overkill, all on the CGE mount.

By heck it was nice to get back imaging again

Hope you like it

Lovely Phil, full marks for endurance and the reminder that Autumn and dark nights are on their way. The Auriga clusters are favourites of mine, probably because they were the first clusters I ever saw and they always feel like 'home' to me. Which is probably a bit weird really............

Thanks, no not wierd at all. I have a particular fondness for them as well particularly M37, very rich in stars and a superb view through the C11 with a nice 30mm EP
