Description

Open clusters are always a welcome target when the sky is not clear enough for a long integration of a nebula. An often overlooked open cluster is the Hyades in Taurus probably because it is so wide open. No calibration and without PHD autoguiding hence no dithering. Because of the insufficient integration time the stars have been saturated in Photoshop to emphasize their visual colors.
