Description

A somewhat wide field of the M46 (NGC 2437) & M47 (NGC 2422) area.  Very nice open clusters situated amongst other less obvious features, such as the planetary nebula NGC 2438.  Numerous shortish exposures to reduce saturation of the bright stars and also reach sufficient signal for the cloud of dimmer ones.  Minimal processing in Maxim
