A couple of quick clusters

Finished up my shooting session last night after the comet with a couple of southern open clusters as the moon was rising. NGC2516 in Carina and IC2391 in Vela, both near the false cross. Each have a different camera orientation, IC2391 with north up and NGC2516 with north left. Both with the same setup, IC2391 was 16 x 30 secs and NGC2516 23 x 30 seconds.

Common details: Bintel 8" F4 Newtonian, Baader UV/IR cut filter, Baader MPCC MKIII coma corrector, HEQ5 pro unguided, ISO3200, Pentax K-5. Stacked in DSS and processed in photoshop.
