The red carbon star R Leporis in a telescopic close-up. R Lep is also called Hind’s Crimson Star. This is a stack of 8 x 2- minute exposures with the Canon EOS Ra at ISO 800 and through the SharpStar HNT 150 Hyperbolic Newtonian Astrograph at f/2.8.
R Leporis, aka Hind’s Crimson Star, in Lepus the Hare, and an example of a very red carbon star and long-period variable. This is a stack of 8 x 10-second exposures at ISO 1600 with the Canon 6D MkII and Celestron C9.25 at f/10, taken March 28, 2019 with the field very low and still in the blue twilight. So the stars are not sharp, due to the poor seeing. Diffraction spikes added with Astronomy Tools actions.
