Description

M24 is one of my favorite targets visually in my Dob.   I decided to try and image a piece of it and see what I could come up with.   This image includes M24, the cluster NGC 6603 and the nebula IC 284 and 283 in the upper right.    Shot this in Bin 1x with 294mm and pretty happy with the stars.   Worth putting up with the monster file size.   20 frame each RGB
