M36 Open Cluster in Auriga

Hello Everyone,

my last processed image is of M36 shot with a GSO RC10 and focal reducer. It's a simple RGB composition, but after processed it I regretted I didn't take H-alpha as well as I realized there was a fair amount of it all around.

I hope you like it, comments and criticism always welcome

Thanks for watching

As a northerner, I remember M36 as an open cluster but not much Ha there in your FOV. However, a much larger field would see loads.

Have a look at https://www.astrobin.com/328263/C/?nc=all

M36 is on the lower left. You show the star colours well though, nice shot

Colour looks nice, Nicola, but the link to your site seems to be broken?

Thanks everyone for you kind comments!
RickS: thanks for the heads up, I badly copy-pasted the link, now it should be OK.
