The Coathanger Cr 399


Details

This image was meant to be the final test for my portable imaging system. It consist of a Takahashi Epsilon130ED with all ZWO gear. AM5 Mount, ASI2400MC pro and ASI Air. The setup is lightweight, fast to install and easy going.

Cr399 or Collinder 399 or Coathanger is categorized here as open cluster, but in fact it is an asterism. Asterisms are constellations of stars, that build some kind of pattern. In this case the pattern looks like a coathanger, hence the name.
