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 at http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-DSO-NGC-7092.htm .

Clear skies (with no winds)!

Anthony.


Very nice as usual Anthony, although I think you meant to say lying
about nine degrees northeast of Deneb?


Thanks Pete ... for two reasons. Yes, I meant to say Deneb and not Sadr!!

Anthony.
