Description

Full moon project... This object was a little more than 60 degrees away from the moon. So I went with 60s frames to see what would happen. I did have some gradients but they were not terrible.

This open cluster is approximately 7,000 ly distant and was discovered by Caroline Herschel in 1789.

Fun one to do and still trying new processing techniques. I think I'm on the right track with regard to NR, now trying to do a better job with stretching the image to non-linear.

The stars could be tighter too, but a lot was shot too low on the horizon...

As always, questions and/or criticism always welcomed!

CS!!

Mike
