Comment : To get more exposure time I have added older data I took 2 weeks ago to get a total of 3 hour exposure time. The above photo is a crop around the center of the open cluster. Click on it and get the full file field high resolution photo. As you see down to the left I was a bit unlucky and got dust or a hair on the sensor.

Comment : A new attempt to catch something different. This is an open cluster that I can reach from our balcony, more to the North. To increase the contrast I need more exposure time to not introduce to much noise.
