close-up on NGC 225 - star cluster among dark nebulae
NGC 225 is an open cluster within our own Milky Way galaxy. It is over 2,100 light years from Earth
The cluster was first discovered by Caroline Herschel on September 23, 1783
Acquired the nights of Aug 8 and 15, 2015
from Lake Sonoma, CA
L: 18 x 1200s (acquired on 8/8)
R,G,B: 12 x 600s each (acquired on 8/15)
The night of 8/15 the sky was filled with haze from nearby forest fires, hence the marginal color data (somewhat bloated stars)
Main Camera: QSI 583 WSG
Guide Camera: SXV Lodestar (on OAG)
Mount: Astro-Physics Mach 1
Scope: Stellarvue SV100Q (effective FL: 580mm)
Image Aquisition software MaximDL
Registed, Calibrated and Stacked and Post Processed with PixInsight 1.8
