Hi All

This is a shot of a colorful open cluster in Carina NGC 2516.
This is reported to be about 1 degree in size and shines at mag 3.8 and at a distance of 400pc make for an excellent low power telescope view.
I shot this with a SXV-H9C through a ZS66SD/.8 on a G11 mount.
Exposures were 30 x 2 minutes, AA3 used for capture combine & align and CS2 for post processing.
For those that are interested a larger image can be found at my web site. www.atalas.net

I hope you all enjoy It.
