Open Star Clusters in Auriga and IC405 Flaming Star Nebula


It's still "summer" but the constellation Auriga rises above the horizon in the early morning. Some beautiful Open Star Clusters can be observed like M36, M37 and M38.
I took some pictures using Nikon D7500 with TLAPO80/480 f/6. Stacking was done with DeepSkyStacker and limited editing in CS4.




The Flaming Star Nebula IC405 is located 10° west from Messier M38
