One-Click at The Butterfly Cluster
This image contains data of one 'One-Click Observation' on the open star cluster M6, aka The Butterfly Cluster.
The dataset from this quick observation was considerably challanging to process due to the little amount of data avaliable and its quality. For example, I only had one frame on the green channel and on the luminance filter that were usable, and the one on the green channel was a little bit out of focus. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy the final result as much as I do!
