Description

I decided that I would try and image NGC 2359 Thor's Helmet. However when I went outside

NGC 2359 was not high enough in the sky. I decided to image NGC 2112 while waiting for NGC 2359 to rise. NGC 2112 is an obscure little cluster that is surrounded by Bernard's Loop.

The combination of the cluster and the nebulosity makes a nice image. I imaged this object

on 3-15-17 but all I captured was the cluster. I did not capture any nebulosity. Last night I did

capture some nebulosity but not as much as I wanted to capture. However this image is

closer to what I was looking for than my previous image. It is an object that I will visit again

and maybe try a longer exposure or filter to try and get the image that I want. With all of that

said please enjoy my most recent image of NGC 2112.
