Description

Before I went outside I decided that I would try and image M37.  It was closer to the Moon than I would
have liked but I decided to try anyway.  The Moon was brutal last night.  I didn't need a flashlight and
there were lots of constellations that I could not see.  I tried a lot of different iso and exposure settings
and took a lot of test images.  I finally settled on iso 1600 with an exposure of 15 seconds.  That's the 
lowest exposure that I've ever used on an astro photo.  Even with the 15 second exposure I had to deal with
light gradients.  Anyway please enjoy my most recent imge of M37.;
