Description

This very attractive group is currently nicely visible where I live. I was tempted to target it with a borrowed older CCD camera, an SBIG ST4000C. Its a Kodak sensor with 2048x2048 pixels each 7.4x7.4 micron in size. Cooling was very good - down to -30C at outside +10C, imaging was still OK but not excellent anymore. It was a try and I thougt, it might be worth to show it here. Weather was not really excellent, seeing was average and coulds made it necessary to take all 80 subs (180sec) in three different nights.
