M44 from Last Night

Ian Stewart All Messages By This Member #57513 I was out observing a couple of nights ago and was really impressed with the Beehive Cluster so I thought I'd give imaging it a try last night. You can never really capture the depth of the cluster that you see visually but I gave it a try. Cheers Ian ?

jimcoble2000 All Messages By This Member #57515 Very nice colors Ian. Yes that one requires quite a wide eyepiece. I was there fora bit last night using a 40mm in a six inch refractor. The 4 inch is really better for that.

I think he did the same for the Pleiades which would make sense, and the head of Orion which is a bit further of a stretch but within the realm of possible in dark pre-technology skies.
