Excellent rendering of NGC 457 and it looks like you picked the correct magnification too. It just fits your field of view.

It has captured the image for me that I remember. You've made me want to view it with my 21mm and my 13mm Stratus with their 68 degree FOV. Last time I saw and sketched it was with a 25mm plossl.

The past few months the weather was a disaster. I'm glad that I could observe and sketch again last weekend. The ET cluster is a nice open cluster. Not only for observing, but its also a nice sketch target. Post Extras:       CarlosEH Postmaster Reged: 01/19/05 Loc: Pembroke Pines, Broward County...
