M36 / NGC 1960 in Auriga

Dear Group,

With very good seeing last night (FWHM ~ 1.9") and equally impressive transparency, I decided to pursue the most impressive of the three open clusters in the constellation of Auriga which is nicely overhead a couple of hours after the end of astronomical twilight.

For those interested, please see

The LRGB image is based on two-hours total exposure.

Clear skies!

Anthony.
