NGC457 & NGC436

[philj]

A lovely clear night last night had me setting up my normal imaging rig to capture a few things. Here's the Butterfly Cluster and companion on Cassiopea.

Taken through ZS80 FD with Hutech 300d with WO 0.8 flattener. 10 off 4 minute subs at ISO800 mounted on CGE guided by Orion Apex 127 Mak with Mintron 12V 6. Darks and flats subtracted and a little bit of curves

Hope you like it

The open clusters in Cassiopea are some of the best and not that easy to image...don't ask me why

Lovely image phil and the star colours are great

[brendant]

Nicely captured Phil, as George says often overlooked, a pretty cluster.

Lovely looking cluster reminds me of the Owl Cluster.
