Description

Messier 103 is an open star cluster at a distance of 9800 lightyears from earth. The cluster contains about 40 stars. 1 of them is a giant red in the center which appears well in the picture.

29 minutes exposuretime is in this stack. Unfortunately, a bad polar alignment caused troubles. That's why the picture isn't that sharp as it should.
