Description

I decided before I went outside tonight that I was going to try and image IC 1311. I've never imaged this object and lately I've been having trouble finding something to image that I've not already imaged. I had nothing but trouble tonight and it seemed like everything that could possibly go wrong did. I won't bore every one with the details but I'm surprised that I actually got an image tonight. This is a very pretty open cluster. It actually has a good many stars but the cluster is small and my 72mm aperture did not resolve many stars. I like this part of the sky and that is one of the reasons I chose this object to image. Please enjoy my first image of IC 1311.

Description: I can't ever leave my images alone. I looked at my image with fresh eyes this morning and decided that I could do better. So I reprocessed the image.
