Melotte 15 - Open Cluster inside IC1805

With an excellent night on Monday night, I spent the whole night imaging this target. Over 7 hours went into this exposure. What I did was took 12 x 10minute HA frame, 8 x 10mins in B and G and another 10 x 10 mins in L through the CLS filter. I then added the HA frames to the CLS and took 8 of the HA frames to make a R channel. The entire composition is here.

It's rare enough to get a night where the lack of clouds allows you to image all night. However on the odd occassion it does happen, I think it is worth the effort.

Anyways here's the image;
