IC 1805 (Sept. 2020)


IC 1805 is an open cluster set in the complex cloud of nebulosity from which the stars formed.  This is 14x900" in late September with the Atik 460EXC and 203mm Synta-ONTC Newtonian at f/4.95.

Some Sisters, X/M45 (Oct. 2020)

 

This is, of course, part of M45.  In the Fall, the wondrous large and bright Pleaides are high overhead.  I am always thrilled to see the nebulosity in just 360" exposures.  This is 18x360" with the Atik 460EXC and 203mm Synta-ONTC Newtonian at f/4.95.
