(540mm) The Electric Guitar Cluster (エレクトリック・ギター星団) NGC2477 : Astropical

Astropical

This site is for Astronomy Studies in the Tropics. I'm based in East Pattaya, Thailand, 12.934N, 100.918E, between the sun's northern limit and the Equator. The big advantage of this location is that you can observe both northern and some southern stars at the same time. And it's never cold... lol. I hope to introduce you to the unique celestial opportunities available from this area. Enjoy your observations!! Taro Seki Astropical.uk

The Electric Guitar Cluster (エレクトリック・ギター星団) NGC2477

A star cluster that I have photographed with RedCat51 several years ago.
We can see the shape of the guitar when shooting with a wide focal length of 250mm, but we can't see the guitar with this focal length.

For that reason, the bright colors of this star cluster and the stars of the spring Milky Way fill the frame, making it a beautiful star cluster.

数年前にRedCat51で撮影したことのある星団。

焦点距離250mmのWideで撮るとギターの形が見えるが、この焦点距離だとギターは見えてこないな。

その分この星団の華やかな色と春の天の川の星達がフレームいっぱいに広っがって綺麗な星団だな。
