Description

Messier 29 (also known as M 29 or NGC 6913) is an open cluster in the Cygnus constellation. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1764, and can be seen from Earth by using binoculars.

The star cluster is situated in the highly crowded area of Milky Way near Gamma Cygni, at a distance of 7,200 (most sources including Mallas/Kreimer and Burnham, and agreeing with early estimates or R.J. Trumpler 1930) or 4,000 light years (the latter from Kenneth Glyn Jones and the Sky Catalogue 2000.0).

This mage #13 in long term project to photograph the complete Messier catalog and replaces my previous attempt

here . M29 is not the most spectacular Messier object but is nice open cluster and very nice star field. 2x @150 seconds each RGB in attempt to not have over exposed bright stars, seem work ok.
