Description

M41 - Diamonds on black Velvet 1

One of my very first nights out in the mountains with my small Star Adventurer mount. I was so excited by the sheer amount of celestial objects above my head that I could not decide what to capture first.

Consequently, I was not patient enough for taking much longer exposures.

Nevertheless, M41 in CMa comes out beautiful here, as the image framing is not narrow but wide. Thus, the visual impression what an "open cluster" looks like remains obvious.
