Description

Last night was extremely humid here, so the seeing wasn't fantastic to attempt going after things like M33, etc. I decided after realizing I wasn't going to image any massive DSO's that I was going to just sky tour with my telescope and see if I could find any interesting open clusters to shoot. I went randomly, with no real intent on finding anything specific.

NGC6633 came into view nicely in my field. This isn't a ton of integration time- only about 12 minutes or so, but I think it came together quite nicely!

Interestingly, on researching this, the Voyager 1 spacecraft is heading in the general direction of this cluster
