Scope: ST80 f/3 Location: Del Mar CA 3/5/2003 Camera: Vesta 690
Exposure: 12 x 40 sec and 21 x 24 sec color frames with IR block filter
To avoid getting a bloated central stars of the cluster while still getting some depth in the surrounding field, 3 different exposures were taken. However, I only used a 24 sec and 40 sec frame exposure. The shorter exposure was used to de-saturate and separate the central bright stars of the cluster on the 40 sec image. Horizontal FOV is 55'
