Description

M35 - NGC 2158 field in Gemini. Left this as a fairly wide angle; I think if I magnify the image too much, M35 ceases to look like a cluster. Imaged via New Mexico Skies, at 7,300' elevation, February 6, 2021. TAK FQS Flourite 4" at f/5. SBIG STL-11000M camera. FOV 156' x 234', but cropped to about 1/2 of that field size. Processed almost entirely in Pixinsight, with minor tweak in Adobe.

Inspired to take this image after seeing a fine example from Jeff K last year. This is a wonderful visual field also for binoculars / telescopes. Tom Schmidtkunz February 8, 2021.
