Description

Wanted to go after something that wasn't affected so much with a bright moon in the sky so I decided to shoot a couple of open clusters. This is one of them and I attempted to shoot it with shorter subs to preserve star color as best as I could and used my Optolong L-Pro 2" filter for added contrast.

I processed the image in APP / RGB then removed light pollution, star color calibration and finished off in Gimp with some color adjustments, star reduction and finally a bump up with saturation for the star colors.

Seeing was quite good 4/5 and transparency was ok 7/10

Thanks for looking!

Dale
