M67, plain and simple

[wimvb]

A short break from imaging galaxies, here is star cluster M67 in the constellation Cancer. This is one of the oldest open clusters tied to the Milky Way, and has been studied extensively.

This image is an integration of 3 x 20 sub frames of 4 minutes each at gain 0 and -20 C, totalling 4 hours of exposure.

Stacked and stretched in PixInsight. Gear as always: SkyWatcher 190MN on an AZ-EQ6 mount, with an ASI294MM camera and Optolong RGB filters.

Very nice.. sometimes plain and simple is the most rewarding.
