Happy Saturday!
Here are the two open clusters M46 and M47 I shot last weekend. Always a very pleasant view in any wide field scope. I shot this with a Canon 20D, IDAS LPS filter, Tak 90 with reducer, manually guided 3x4min at ISO1600.

Thanks for viewing!
Ivan

Awesome, Ivan. Reminds me my view at the eyepiece. Also two*) other NGC objects are here smile

Perhaps a shorter exp would show less field stars and make the clusters stand out more.

Great wide-field, Ivan. The PN inside M46 is obvious, but would stand out more if the image size wasn't reduced. I like how deep you went, the clusters still stand out in the rich background.
