NGC7510

[petevasey]

NGC7510 is a fairly bright (mag 7.9), compact open cluster in Cepheus, quite pretty with the curving string of stars. Often imaged as part of the much larger emission nebula Sharpless 157 - 'The Claw' nebula.  A clear night last night (September 6th) gave me the opportunity to image it . My main consideration in this image is to show the star field, but there is a hint of the nebulosity towards the lower left of the image. The general area shows a slight reddish tint due to the nebula. QSI 683 on RC10. Luminance 14 x 5 minutes, RGB each 7 x 5 minutes, all unbinned.  There is a larger image here.
