Description

2h 50min of integral Ha exposure of NGC 5617 open star cluster, the smaller open cluster Cl Pismis 19 next to it, and one more less expected find - a small nebula embedded in the NGC 5617 (or overlapping with it).

Captured remotely using Telescope #3 (ASA-N D = 0.5m f/3.8, FLI ProLine 16803) system of ChileScope observatory over 4 imaging sessions carried out on Jun 6, 7, 10, 12, 2023. This image is a subframe of the T3 Chilescope image [1] (same set of exposures used):
