IC 2395 Cluster in Vela. NGC 2670 to lower left. Taken with 4-inch AP Traveler apo refractor at f/4.5 with Canon 20Da camera at ISO 800 for stack of 4 x 2 minute exposures. Taken from Coonabarabran, NSW, March 26, 2007.
The loose open star cluster IC 2395 in Vela near the Vela supernova remnant. The cluster is just left of centre. A small cluster just resolved here at centre is NGC 2660, while a sparser cluster left of IC 2395 is NGC 2670. The orientation is along the Milky Way here, so north is at right, not at top. This is a stack of five 2-minute exposures with the Canon L-series 135mm lens at f/2.8 and Canon 7D at ISO 1250. The field simulates a binocular field of roughly 7°. Bits of the Vela SNR are visible at right. The field is laced with emission nebulosity, some of it cyan in colour.
Large and loose open cluster in Ophiuchus, IC 4665, in a wide-field image simulating the field of binoculars. Taken July 24, 2012, from home with the Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800 and Canon L-series 200mm lens at f/3.5 for a stack of 5 x 3 minute exposures.
