| Open Cluster in Cassiopeia: Messier 52 |
Type: Open Cluster
Distance: 5100 light years
Constellation: Cassiopeia
Date: 27 October 2017
Equipment: SXV-H9, Vixen 114mm f5.3 ED refractor
Subframes: 12 x 150 second luminance, 6 x 40 second 2x2 binned each for RGBEquipment: SXV-H9, Vixen 114mm f5.3 ED refractor
Images were acquired, stacked and colour-composited in AstroArt. Final cosmetic processing was in PaintShop Pro.
This was really just a test of PHD guiding, which I had never used before and which worked just fine, first time.
Visually, this cluster is a real treat through the ED114 and a 15mm eyepiece, looking pretty much as it does in the image given a dark sky.
