Default M39 (LRGB) in Cygnus

Dear group,

A very impressive cluster is M39 in Cygnus lying about nine degrees
southeast of Sadr.

Battling 5 Beaufort winds, I did not expect very much with my final
result. Although I was pleasantly surprised when all of the integrations
were processed, a second visit will be required to nail pinpoint stars
throughout the image.

For those interested, last night's result based on two hours total
exposure is available athttp://www.perseus.gr/Astro-DSO-NGC-7092.htm.

Clear skies (with no winds)!

Anthony.


Unapologetically astrological in content and character.

Of course you also believe the Sun traces a figure 8 and attribute it
to variable axial tilting Earth.

Astronomers are people who are supposed to have a clear sense of scale
and as much as possible a clear sense of the motions of the Earth and
its cycles.It is not a clinical thing but rather the flux of these
motions make existence possible which show up in the tides,weather and
just a clear sense of participating in those cycles.

In short,learn about the motions of the Earth first before you bother
describing stars in constellational settings or maybe you should take
in the great cycles as most people do -
