Description

This is a busy area in the Auriga constellation. M38 is an open cluster at the top of the frame. Beneath that is NGC 1907, another open cluster. To the right side is a faint nebula listed as LBN794 in Cartes du Ciel. At the bottom of the frame another patch of nebula known as IC 417/LBN804.

I had taken 28 sub-images for this, but for some reason guiding wasn’t working right and I had to throw out eleven subs. So, it really needs lots more time to bring out that faint nebula that is visible throughout the frame. I have plenty of time to get it this month, hopefully.
