Popular Post Peter Shah Posted September 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2018 Nothing really special....but a lovely cluster to image especially with the bright moon about. Exposure times were 10x 600 s in red 10x 420sec in green and 10x 560s in blue. I did have some challenges with gradients wit the bright moon but we cant be fussy with the amount of moonless clear nights we get.

Tweedledee Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 That is a special cluster though, one of my favourites. Caroline's Rose discovered by Caroline Herschel. I've seen it many times visually in various scopes. Love your image of it. ? Peter Shah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, this is not the case with nebulae. I hope we see more images of clusters on EMS as I, and I'm sure others enjoy seeing them almost as much as pretty coloured nebulae and it would certainly be a nice change. Also, I would have thought that clusters don't usually require quite so much time consuming data and need a bit less processing time than nebulae. I see Ron Clarke has also imaged some nice clusters recently. There are so many clusters around that seem to get overlooked. Can I have some more please? ?

+Bino-viewer Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Lovely image Pete ? I see its in Cassiopeia. I don't think its one i've looked at : i will have to chase it down.... Peter Shah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 There's some lovely star colours in there as well and as Pete say's, much under rated objects. It's nice just looking through these to see if any faint fuzzies are lurking behind them. Peter Shah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth doing and as Pete says its a beautiful visual object too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
