Hi all
I took this image about 2 weeks ago now, but only just got around to processing it. And I have no idea what object it is.
It's an open cluster in Carina - I was trying to slew to the Southern Pleiades, and in the finderscope found a smudge of stars and figured it was it. I'm pretty sure it's not
I can't find any images that match with this object, so if you can help me identify it, that'd be great
36 minutes total exposure, with a batch of 3 and 4 minute exposures. ICNR used, flats calibrated in ImagesPlus. I used some wool sticky-taped to the dewshield for the diffraction spikes
It's all I could find at the time, but they're a bit too thick as a result.
EQ6+ED80+unmodded 350D+WO 0.8x reducer. Guided with DMK+PHD.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the image.
Thanks
