Popular Post +Glafnazur Posted February 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2022 I imaged a few clusters the other night, here's M35 and NGC 2158. SW Esprit 100ED, Nikon D750, Optolong L-Pro 35 x 30s at ISO 800. Full frame Cropped Cropped with the controversial spikes 🙂 +Ibbo, +Graham, BAZ and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Some good colours there (not sure about all the spikes?) 👍 +Glafnazur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bino-viewer Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Nice Dave. This is a lovely object. The hidden glob (NGC 2158) is often a challenge for me, but if you have a darkish sky and some aperture (a 12" Dob is good) it presents itself quite nicely. More of a challenge for me with a refractor though and a non starter from my light polluted home sadly.

+Derbyshire Dave Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Nice job. The last looks like fairydust has been sprinkled, and may be slight too liberally. Interesting to see though +Glafnazur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 You do need dark skies to do it justice visually, but it's a show stopper when it's good. Great images there! +Glafnazur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Glafnazur Posted February 8, 2022 Author Share Posted February 8, 2022 I didn't realise it until the DDAS webmaster told me but the full frame image also captures the even fainter clusters IC 2156 and IC 2157, further out in the 5 o'clock position. I've circled them IC 2156 is the top one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
