Description

Often shown with numerous background Milky Way stars, the loose cluster of m39 can be overwhelmed by the background. This is a stack of 4 15-sec images taken with a Canon G3 camera at 400 iso and 1x optical zoom afocal to a 25mm Orion ED-2 eyepiece. Scope is 102mm f/9 Vixen fluorite. Mount is my new Losmandy GM-8 with PEC (Thanks Brook).
