Early Season Beehive

#1

Post by Baurice »


One of the well-known star clusters is the Beehive (M44) and is one of my personal favourites. I took 12 frames of which only 2 stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and finished in GIMP. I used my DSLR at 300mm focal length, ISO 6400 and 2 seconds exposure.

I get better results in mid/late spring but was quite pleased with this:
