Abell 2151 - the Hercules Galaxy Cluster

 

this was my first try at deeeep space years ago with film and my Meade 10-inch operating at f4. Here is a first try, only 2 x 180 seconds at iso 1600
with a DSLR. Almost as deep as my earlier 2 hour plus exposures on hypered film... how far we have come in ten years..

there are a lot more little fuzzies than this short exposure shows....

Is on my list for more hours...

acquired using Nebulosity 2a12, LX200-12 inch at F5.9, Hap Mod 350, post processed in Photoshop with some noise ninja.
