Open star clusters M46 and M47 in Puppis
M46 on the left and M47 on the right with another small cluster, NGC 2425, in between. The planetary nebula NGC 2438 does not belong to M46.
This is an integration of 285 x 1 minute frames captured on a QHY168C OSC camera with WO Zenithstar 103 scope and an STC multi-spectra filter. The mount was a Skywatcher AZ EQ5-GT and image sequencing was controlled via Sequence Generator Pro and PHD2. A PegasusAstro FocusCube enabled auto-focus. All post-processing was carried out in PixInsight.
