Description

Secondo Campo astronomico invernale organizzato dal Gruppo Astrofili Catanesi presso il rifugio Margio Salice (monti Nebrodi) 06-08/12/2015.

Durante la prima notte trascorsa a Margio Salice, il cielo è rimasto coperto fino ad inizio nottata. Dopo la preparazione del setup mi erano rimaste poche ore disposnibili, quindi ho scelto un facile oggetto DS, curioso di vedere cosa avrei potuto fare dopo aver visto la foto dell'amico Carlo Rocchi www.astrobin.com/227897/: il famodo doppio ammasso aperto del Perseo (NGC869-884) chiamato anche anche h e χ Persei. Pensate che i due ammassi molto luminosi distano dalla Terra da 7200 a 7500 a.l.

Avevo già ripreso questi ammassi nel 2008 ma avevo da poco iniziato ad usare la fotografia digitale flic.kr/p/8wHaR1.

Un upgrade molto soddisfacente!

2nd astronomical winter camping organized by the Amateur Astronomers Group Catanese at the shelter "Margio Salice" (Nebrodi) 12.06-08.2015.

During the first night spent in Margio Salice, the sky remained covered until the beginning of the night. After preparing the setup I had left a few hours available, so I chose an easy object DS, curious to see what I could do after seeing the image of friend Carlo Rocchi www.astrobin.com/227897/: the famous double star cluster in Perseus (NGC869-884) also called also h - χ Persei. Think that the two clusters bright away from Earth by 7200 to 7500 light years.

I had already photographed these clusters in 2008 but had recently started using digital photography flic.kr/p/8wHaR1.

An upgrade very satisfying!
