M52 Open Cluster in Cassiopeia

This Messier Object was in the same field as the Bubble Nebula from my last session.

 

A group of about 200 stars that probably had the same origin in a now scattered cloud of gas and dust.

 

I was able to process this a bit differently as I didn't have to worry about any nebulosity just bright stars and dark background space.

 

All parameters were the same as my last Bubble nebula image.

 

Processed in PixInsight 1.8.9 with more emphasis on deconvolution and atrous wavelet removal of star halos and a gentler histogram transformation stretch.
