Description After having trouble locting what I was looking for, I thought I’d go for something easy so I didn’t completely waste the night. In the end, I still only managed 8 x 5-minute exposures as my scope battery ran out, again! Nevertheless, I’m still quite happy with what the little exposure time has brought out in the contrasting yellow and blue star colours. Focus is off a little too.

Meade 127 mm f7 triplet
8x 5-minute exposures @ ISO 400 with a Canon 350D
Autoguided with PHD software, 4" f5 refractor and Atik 16 IC Mono
Stacked in Deepsky Stacker with 5 flats and 3 dark frames
Curves tweaked in Photoshop

Ok, did some research and its NGC 6207. Probably should have done that before asking. Haha

Bautiful cluster. Has dust from Iceland anything to do with astrophotography?

Thanks mate! I haven't noticed any difference in sky since the dust cloud made the news. Although, there was a sulphur smell in the air the other night.. Or maybe it's just the air pollution around where I live. You noticed anything since the eruption?

Not really, maybe sun sets(rises) slightly more red. But it's nothing in comparison to sunset in St. PEtersburg where I could see horison line due to dust pollution...

Pretty decent considering all the difficulties endured capturing the image.

You also managed to capture the faint fuzzy at the lower left quite clearly as well.

Cheers.

Thanks! Yeah, I noticed the fuzzy, they're everywhere in Spring. Cheers

Hehe yes It was brilliant - made things simple for simple people like me Professor Brian Cox is doing a public lecture in Manchester this week, on the same sort of stuff that he covered in the show, and I managed to get a ticket I'm rather excited Perfect excuse for a revision break methinks

Oh really!! No way, that'll be so cool. I wish I knew that was happening I've been to a couple of lecture days at a 'space centre' at a place called Seacombe, just opposite Liverpool. There were some right boffins giving lectures there! It was really good. Well, you'll have a great time. I didn't know you were that interested in this geeky stuff
