kirkster501 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 An hour on M36 in Auriga, 20 mins each Astrodon RGB with G2-8300 framed in a wide field for a change. NGC1931 in the upper left adds a touch of interest. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkster501 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Not the most exciting of objects when compared to galaxies and great nebulae but I think these clusters are quite nice. I aim to do many of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celestron8g8 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Very nice , just about any cluster worth while makes a nice image . Clusters have always been my favorite object for viewing and imaging . Especially ones that are small and very tight with a lot of stars . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloz1664 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Very nice Steve. Diamonds in a rich star field springs to mind when I look at this image. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkster501 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thanks guys. Yes indeed Steve, lovely aren't they? Lovely to look at through the 12" Dob as well. I think the open clusters can get overlooked when it comes to AP in favour of what may be perceived more "glamourous" targets, but I think they are really nice, like little jewel boxes.
