M44 BEEHIVE CLUSTER IN CANCER.

M44 is one of the nearest open clusters to Earth and can easily be seen without binoculars. It appears as a blurry patch of light to the naked eye. There are many background galaxies in the field of view.

Aubrey,

Is the red glow on the left of the image bleed from the camera or is it an ionized area?

HI Jeff, good eyes. No its not camera glow and the QHY 16200 does not have amp glow. The chip is blocked on the right side (in this picture) so now glows comes through.
