Description

This time I set myself a slightly harder target.

The group around NGC 4169 is also called "the box" because of its arrangement.

For my 5" Newton this was a big challenge. On the one hand the group is very small and on the other hand there are only very few details. The low brightness proved to be not so difficult. At least I managed to get a nice picture of the group, but next time I have to go with the 10".

I drizzled the shot 3x and clipped it heavily.

Hope you like it!
