Dear Friends .... and Seanie,

With very good seeing last night (FWHM ~ 1.9") and equally impressive transparency, I decided to pursue the most impressive of the three open clusters in the constellation of Auriga which is nicely overhead a couple of hours after the end of astronomical twilight.

For those interested, please see

www.perseus.gr/Astro-DSO-NGC-1960.htm (image details)

The LRGB image is based on two-hours total exposure.

Clear skies!

Gents,

Thanks for the kind words. I just finished processing another capture - M35 in Gemini - which is equally impressive and which I will provide further details tomorrow.
