re:Mars inside the Beehive 1.05MB pic
The best I could do was overexpose Mars just to get a few stars from M44 on the image. Looked cool through the 21mm Pentex eyepiece though.
Low on the horizon (lousy air) and only had 30 minutes before they faded into the trees.
28mm, Nikon coolpix 4300 on the 12"SCT
