Description

I swept up this cluster with my binoculars back in 1992 from my backyard. Subsequent observations through my C8 didn't include any mention of planetary NGC 2438. Twenty-eight years later I imaged this field with my 4 inch Tak and my QSI 683 and was pleased to see that little planetary in my image but I almost missed the fainter Minkowski 1-18 lurking in the shadows.

Calibration and Integration was done with APP and the channel master were then imported into Pixinsight for final processing.
