Images John West rejects (SH2-302 and Melotte 66)

Not your pretty picture subjects.

The first is the very faint SH2-302 which required 16 hrs total imaging time.
I decided on a HaRGB image this time rather than a straight Ha.

Higher resolution here.

Next is Melotte 66 a very ordinary looking open cluster whose claim to fame is that it is one of the oldest clusters in the galaxy.

Its the only reason why you would image this object.
