M35, M36 and M37

[Roy Foreman]

A rare clear night, but plagued with moonlight and gale force winds.

What is an deep sky imager to do ?  Keep it simple with objects that don't require hours of exposure time !

I present three open clusters M35, M36 and M37,  each is 20 x 30 sec at gain 300.

16" F/4.5 Reflector, ZWO 6200 Full Frame OSC and UV/IR cut filter.

Stacked in DSS and processed in Photoshop.

At the very least they will make a change from all the (excellent) nebulous stuff being posted !

Hope they are of interest and thanks for looking.

Very nicely done. I love these as visual targets and think you've really captured them. Thanks for sharing.

They very nearly weren't as it was so windy - had to discard half the subs !  thanks for your response.
