M46 (& NGC 2438), M47, NGC 2362
These are some of the fruits of January 18th's night out. This is the Atik 16 attached to the AT66ED. Baader UV/IR cutoff filter only. Unguided on the LXD75.
Nice M46 image! I observed this object for the first time last year and knocked my socks off - a rich star cluster and planetary nebula all together... Cool! Anyway, good capture. Keep up the great work.
