Description

M39 is a bright open cluster in Cygnus that is enjoyable to view in binoculars or any telescope. Due to the high focal length of my imaging system, it was actually necessary to make a mosaic image just to fit the brightest stars into the field of view. This image is a 9-panel mosaic with 60% overlap between the central frame and all of the adjacent frames. Due to the brightness of the cluster, the total integration time was less than one hour. Diffraction spikes are artificial and were added in GIMP purely for aesthetics.
