Caldwell 16, a moderately bright and visually appealing open star cluster with a compact angular diameter, is situated in the constellation Lacerta in the northern hemisphere.
I found unused M45 data while organizing my astrophoto data. The Pleiades data is from 2021, the telescope already sold and the picture reprocessed after a single month due to a new plugin.
