Description

Messier 46, also known as NGC 2437, is an open cluster in the constellation Puppis. The planetary nebula NGC 2438 appears to lie within the cluster.
I have decided to focus on Planetary nebulas for sometime.
I have a book called "Planetary Nebulae and How to Observe them" Very good book.
I plan to only use my Evolution 9.25 and so all captures will be AZ with max of 30 sec exposures.
NGC 2438 is the first in this series.
