Astrophotography and Astronomy
NGC 6940 is an open cluster located in the constellation Vulpecula, approximately 2,510 light-years away from Earth. This cluster reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight end of July. Around July the 29th to be more exact.
Four open star clusters in Cassiopeia: among others, Caldwell 10 and Messier 103. A truly beautiful frame with simply stunning stars.
A few open star clusters—M39, NGC 7082, NGC 7062—and an asterism, NGC 7071, in the constellation Cygnus. My result after just one night.
Fresh photons for a classic! Messier 44 photographed this year with my Baader Travel Companion 95/580 Apo.
M37 is an open cluster in the constellation Auriga, reaching its annual culmination at astronomical midnight around December 20th.
M34 is an open cluster in Perseus, reaching its annual culmination at astronomical midnight around November 5th.
Caldwell 14, also known as the Double Cluster, is a stunning pair of open star clusters located in the constellation Perseus, appearing as two adjacent patches of light in the night sky and reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight around November 1st.
Messier 103, a young open star cluster located in the constellation Cassiopeia, approximately 8,000 light-years away, encompasses a group of about 40 blue and white stars, reaching its annual culmination around astronomical midnight around October 19th.
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.
