Description

When I went outside tonight I really wanted to image M65, M66, and NGC 3628 Leo's Trio.

Last night I took three images of these objects and the images were very good. However

tonight the test images that I took were about as sorry as an image can get. Leo was lower

in the sky tonight and in heavy light pollution. Also there were high, light clouds in

that part of the sky. I've been wanting to image NGC 1664 the Kite Cluster so I thought

tonight would be a good time to do it. This is a neat little cluster that is situated in a very

dense star field. However the cluster stands out nicely in this dense star field. With all of that

said please enjoy my first image of NGC 1664 the Kite Cluster.

Description: I didn't like the way my image looked on Astrobin
so I did some reprocessing to try and brighten the
image a little and give it a little more "pop".
