Description

NGC 225 and vdB4, the sailboat cluster, imaged from the backyard over the few nights we have had in ages. This is the last image of the OSC version of the Atik 460EX - what a great ccd camera, build quality and a sensor that was installed properly square to the threads. This shows the underlying dusty reflection nebula to a certain degree, but not willing to push this the same way possible with a similar integration time from the very fast reflector - I call it a 'soothing' processing . This is all about the stars, density, relative sizes and colors for me.
