| Description | This was an opportunistic capture on a night when the weather forecast did not predict observable weather. When it turned clear, I quickly set up the SeeStar. This time of year I'm normally using my 8" EdgeHD... but the SeeStar's focal length suits this target nicely with its slightly wider field of view: revealing why it's nicknamed the "Spider" cluster. |
