Description

The testing of some new equipment gave me an excuse to image the beautiful pair formed by the M46 open cluster and the NGC 2438 planetary nebula. It’s less than 10 hours in total, but both targets are bright and lent themselves well to this exercise, mostly under unfavorable Moon phase.
