Brocchi's cluster (Cr 399) - the coathanger and a few friends

[GalaxyGael]

Another star field on full moon nights a while back with the FRA 300, 60 mm aperture, f/5. Cracking little scope, just works and sets up so quickly and easily.

The coathanger and nearby nebulosity in among some dark dusty features and the classic bed of milky way stars.

393 x 120s (~13 h)

Calibrated with flats and bias in APP and processed there and PS CS5.

ASI2600MC at Gain 100, -10C

Thank you. Appreciate that as I like starfields the most, even in RGB nebula shots where the gas is best supporting actor!

That's very nice,  star colours are excellent.
