Description

NGC 2516 is an open star cluster in the southern sky in the constellation Carina discovered by Abbe Lacaille in 1751-1752.

I take this over 6 days period with 4 x 120 seconds each RGB. I get idea for this from book Astronomy of the Milky Way: The Observer’s Guide to the Southern Sky (The Patrick Moore Practical Astronomy Series) --Mike Inglis which I found quite informative indeed. Turn out pretty well and nice colours for sure.
