Here is an interesting Open cluster. It is often imaged in the same field as the galaxy NGC 6946. Here in this image it is doing a solo gig:

This was imaged on my "second" set up while my main imaging scope/camera was sucking in the photons on NGC 6946

Scope - Megrez II 80 mm
Camera - Artemis285

Hi Jim,

Nice catch! I'm sure it's pleased to see itself take center stage smile
