Caroline's white rose

[Kevin Phillips]

Hi all

I image this cluster whilst watching Artemis 2 launch. It was really exciting to watch. 

This image was a 2 min exposure over 6 hrs,  there abouts. 

Since have a Rowan belt and a service to my mount by Dark skies, I am achieving below arc second.  Mostly between 0.44 up to 0.90. 

If there is a bit of a wind nay go to 1.1, guiding assist is pretty good in Phd2 guiding.

Hi Kevin

Both are great images.  The Whale shows up all the many bright young new stars, not to mention the Pup galaxy, which I think is a local companion.  The Rose shows all the swirls of the 'petals' as 'seen from above'.  I think there may even be a 'stalk' there too, switching on rotation lock on my screen and turning.  Easiest to see from a distance from the screen, like Impressionist paintings!
