Description

What can you do when the moon is almost full ( 85%)? Emission nebulae don't make much sense without a narrow band. Fortunately, there are still the star clusters that are still worthwhile.
So on 6.10.2022 I took a picture of the fabulous double star cluster h & chi in Perseus.

Taken from the garden in Stade, Lower Saxony, Germany under Bortle 5 sky.
Equipment: Canon EOS 550 D a, Canon L 300 mm @ f 4.5 with ISO 1600 on the Staradventurer.
209 x 45 ", no filters.
Processing: Deep Sky Stacker, Fitswork, DPP 4 Canon, irfanview.
