Hi all,

Here's a nice open cluster I shot last night while waiting for NGC 3628 to rise high enough for me to shoot smile

Seeing was not so good.
LRGB L 120sx5 RGB 180sx5 each.Unfortunatly my exposure times were long enough to saturate most the brighter stars in the image sad

ST-2000XM at prime focus of my TEC140

Thanks for looking,

Jason

Hi Jason,

That's a pretty picture! Nice use of your time while waiting for your main target to rise!

There may yet be color hiding in those stars. Are you familiar with Don Waid's tutorials? He has a few free ones on the web:

Check out the Star Shaping and Color Enhancement tutorial.

HTH,
Eric
