Description

Originally I picked an open star cluster that wasn't near others, NGC 2079, using stellarium, however on the night I discovered NGC 2079 was misplaced in stellarium. After solving the error and seeing a bunch of tiny galaxies visible in the actual location for IC 2079, I took a short set along with the star cluster sets. Makes me wish my 3x barlow had arrived already, heh, another target to revisit later.

Given the low number of images and very small targets, it was hard to not destroy them while reducing the noise. Same goes for removing the reflection/diffraction spikes caused by the star α Dor which not far off screen.
