The Wild Duck Cluster Blazes with Hot Blue Stars
After endlessly cloudy or brightly moonlit nights, we finally saw clear skies with no Moon over Southern New England. So I set out to Frosty Drew Observatory in Charlestown, RI.
This is one of the shots I snapped. It is Messier 11 - The Wild Duck Cluster, a rather dense open star cluster that is found in the constellation Scutum and resides at 6,200 light years distant. This is a fabulous target for binoculars and back yard telescopes along the plane of the Milky Way galaxy in the Northern Hemisphere summertime sky. -Enjoy!
Photo Details:
Camera: Canon 60D MagicLantern
1370mm
f/9
ISO: 5000
Exposure: 30 seconds * 77 exposures
This is 77 shots median composite to reduce noise.
