NGC 663 (Sept. 2022)

I've always liked this cluster through the telescope eyepiece.  This is 22x300" with the Atik 460EXC through an Astronomik CLS filter and the 203mm f/4.95 Synta-ONTC Newtonian flattened with a Baader MPCC (Mark I, the old version).  I took this in September but did not get around to processing till now.

M38 and NGC 1907 (Jan. 2023)

 

This is 19x600" with the Atik 460EXC and LPS-P2 through the SW ED80.  Which is better, the more stretched shot or the less stretched one?  The less stretched one is closer to what the area looks like through a large telescope.  The more stretched one shows stars as deep as 17th magnitude.
