Description

After a long break that was forced by clouds i could do astrophotography at last. While i was waiting for my main target M 42 to show up i decided to image the famous double cluster. I am so happy with this image - not because it is very spectacular, but because i could see stars at last! And a lot of stars, i must admit. I imaged the double cluster before, but never recognized the very broad starfield around (probably due to the smaller FoV of my RC). Nice!
