Melotte star cluster (Coma Cluster)

Testing out my new ASIAIR+ on 4/22/22 from my driveway in Natural Bridge area. Used the Samyang 130mm lens and 1 minute exposues, about 50 minutes total exposure time, Orion Atlas Pro mount. There seemed to be some passing thin high clouds and I was not able to use sensor cooling. Could really tell the difference with a lot more grain but I darkened most of it out with processing. I liked the star colors. There is some nebulosity in the cluster and I just picked up a bit of that. ASIAIR did a pretty good job overall, some quirks getting it to run on my IOS devices and some learning curve but it worked out. Looking forward to using it with guiding and auto-dithering.
