King 7 Open Cluster in 35 mph gusts

Far from ideal but it clear for once - Lodestar Pro and being guilded else the stars were 4 times as long !

Good to see some shots of rarely-viewed open clusters. Kudos for keeping at in blustery conditions. Were you guiding your guidescope with a different guider?

I was going to make a similar comment to Martin. I think I may have visited this cluster just once with my former large Dob so nice to be reminded of its existence.

Yes using asi120mm(old version) via QHY Mini scope.  Impossible otherwise in that gusty wind even with very short exposures. Not alot of info on the King 7 - well I didn't find much info but it seems to contain a Nebula and variable stars - maybe !

It just fits the FOV of the Lodestar/C9.25 nicely!
