A latecomer of the last starry nights in January. The beautiful open star cluster Messier 37. The full frame at 1800mm focal length looks very nice to me here.
The first photo with a full-frame sensor on my VIXEN VC200L. The Double Cluster Caldwell 14.
On the second consecutive clear night, the star cluster M34 was my companion until my main object of the week rose high enough above the horizon.
After months without clear skies, finally some fresh starry material. My first image with the #Vixen #VISAC #VC200L in a long time.
Astrophoto with legacy lens. One year after collecting the data the processing finally worked. This material was one of the hardest to process, yet.
