Took this tonight. M35 shot through a Tak FS-60C with a Meade 6.3 FR. 10 shots with each LRGB filter, each shot was one minute long. Camera was a SXV-H9.

Beautiful shot Ralph!
There is something about those little APOs, I tell you... 8) (I love my little WO SD-66)


Clear skies, and thanks for sharing!

Great shot, Ralph! M35 is one of my favorite open clusters. I might even have been the first one I looked at where the term "open cluster" was described to me. It literally looked to me at the EP like a globular cluster with its core ripped out, hence "open cluster" grin

Ralph,
Great capture of this Open. I like the NGC 2158 also in the field.
