Description

I first started this project from home but finished  in our frequented Bortle 2 site. With 2 degree FOV the False Comet cluster  dazzeled through  my ATM F5 10' dobsonian in my early years of astronomical discovery . taking in the extended "star tale" towards Trumpler 24 ,Collinder 316  & the Prawn nebula .. A reasonably challenging  set to edit as  shrinking the stars in favour  of the nebula was not an option.. Awe and wonder folks
