Hi All, tried imaging this open cluster along the lower spine of Scorpius last night.... I could not get auto-guide to stabilise (seeing was bad!) and most were like star trails...this is just what I could salvage from a few still far from perfect light frames. 6 x120s ED80 F7 (0.8 reducer) IDAS-LPS filter and Canon 40D at ISO 800.
I wouldn't have bothered posting, but I was surprised to see some emission nebula appearing and wondered whether this was associated with 6231 or if it went by another name?
