m44

The last great cluster rising east before summer. It has become something of a test target. Yesterday, the DEC backlash was loosened to see what would happen. But then gusts of wind stopped play around 23:00. Had to give up. Anyway and by way of comparison; not the best but using Ivo's AutoDev twice resulted in better stars. high haze too...

EDIT: found a bad light frame. Probably high cloud. Stacked without it...
