Description

Taken on a night of pretty bad seeing we've found that it opens up the star PSF quite considerably and helps give some really nice star colour. It does put a severe limit on the stellar depth that can be achieved but a trade off for great star colour on what is presumed to be one of the youngest open clusters known.
