NGC 3532 One-Click Observation
While reading the blogs, I came across one from Jim DeLillo with this object highlighted, so I thought I'd give it a try (not a lot of data 2 frames/filter).
NGC 3532, also known as the Wishing Well Cluster, is an open cluster lying 1,321 light-years from Earth in the constellation Carina. Interestingly, this was the first target imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope. It contains approximately 400 stars.
Anyway, hope ya like it!
