Q. What else do you do with a clear sky, 3/4 moon and a 34º sensor?

A. Dither

Anyway, we found this cluster near the ring nebula. Not in the m5/m13 league by any means but...

Recommended and thanks for looking. Oh and forgot to remove the cls, hence the silly-blue blue stars:(

By the way, which CLS filter is it? Astronomik or Optolong? Either way, whats your take on its performance for reducing LP?

Hi. We use it to emphasise OIII and the Ha. For LP, we use a moon and skyglow which retains the colour balance; It was an error to image m56 with the cls.
