The area of sky around the star cluster Messier 35, at top in Gemini, with the supernova remnant IC 443 below, and the Monkeyhead Nebula, IC 2174, in Orion at bottom. This is with the 200mm Canon lens to frame a binocular field of view, and taken with the standard Canon 6D MkII camera at ISO 800, for a stack of 16 x 2-minute exposures and through the NISI Natural Night filter to help bring out the nebulas. On the iOptron Sky Guider Pro. Taken from home Feb 19, 2020. The stock camera did a pretty good job recording the red nebulas but not as good as the filter-modified Canon 5D MkII did on shots taken the next night for comparison.
Open cluster M35 in Gemini and nearby nebulosity IC 443 (Jellyfish Nebula) bottom left of cluster and NGC 2174 below cluster. This is a stack of 5 x 4 minute exposurs with Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800 and Canon 135mm lens at f/2.8. Taken January 6, 2011. Field of view simulates binocular field.
M36, the Pinwheel Cluster, left, and M38, the Starfish Cluster, right, in Auriga, surrounded by a wealth of nebulosity, including NGC 1931 at bottom centre, and IC 417 right of centre. IC 410 is in the lower right corner. This is a stack of 6 x 6 minute exposures with the TMB 92mm apo at f/4.8 with Borg 0.85x Reducer/Flattener and modified Canon 6D at ISO 800. A hazy night but not bad overhead where this field was.
