Praesepe - M44

[brendant]

Took this last Sunday night but reprocessed the data tonight, its a beautiful open cluster with a fantastic starfield backdrop.

Quite happy the way it turned out, 12 minutes total exposure (4 x 3 Min's) @ ISO800 on the 400D, ED80 on the EQ5 guided.

Very nice capture Brendan. I must have done something wrong when I tried, I couldn't get it framed in the camera.

Very nice. I spent some time with the dob just going over this cluster late last night, its just soooo pretty, and your image shows it off really well.

I was hoping that with a wide enough fov somebody might have done an M44 / Lulin capture last night.... ???? Anybody?
