Description

Caldwell 36 is a weak inner ring galaxy in Coma Berenices. It is an interesting target, colorful and with abundant nebulosity. Another beauty of the spring sky. Easy to photograph, but it requires many hours of integration. Here are the 4 hours that I can get from my location in New England on a full moon night!.

June 10, 2023: I have done a complete reprocessing to try and get more details in the dust lanes and at the same time soften the galaxy details in the center and edges as compared to the 2 prior versions. The plate solving for smaller targets was much better in this version. I believe this is finally "final"
