Open Cluster IC 4756 w/ IR data

Here is an image of the open cluster IC 4756. I took the LRGB data June 22. The IR data is from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. This is one of several I have done over the summer so far.

It is interesting to see our galaxy's background IR data and some of the really significant IR emitters that have little or no visible band emissions.

LRGB Data:
Scope - WO Zenithstar 66 mm APO at f/4.6
Camera - Artemis285 (Astronomik Filters)

Very interesting work, Jim. I hope that the WISE folk see it. They don't often present visible/IR side by sides -- and the blink images are even better. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jim,
It's always interesting to see how are data 'stacks up' with the professional stuff.
You have a good capture and presentation.
