Description

Clear nights over the Easter Long Weekend offered an opportunity to image, and I was looking for targets to shoot while waiting for my main target to rise. I havent imaged many star clusters yet so I thought I would grab some.

NGC 2451 - Stinging Scorpion Cluster in HaRGB. This open star cluster in the Puppis constellation is actually two separate clusters that lie along the same line of sight from our perspective.
