rdm<p>Just over a week ago, <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://astrodon.social/@starstryder" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>starstryder</span></a></span> posted a wonderful piece on the life of open clusters. If you missed it, wander over here... <a href="https://astrodon.social/@starstryder/113507811810656081" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">astrodon.social/@starstryder/1</span><span class="invisible">13507811810656081</span></a></p><p>This inspired me to do a quick one night tour of the features she described. </p><p>To my shame, I had never heard of the Hyades Cluster, so that was a particular adventure for me. It also proved too much of a challenge for my little Dwarf3 - the 3 degree FoV is just not quite enough to capture the whole cluster.</p><p>Now, these are not the greatest shots of these features - I had work the next day, so I had to cram everything into about 1 1/2 hours. Great astrophotography this is not. But what it is is a tour through time. It was, however, also a chance to test out the scheduling feature of the beta software for the Dwarf. </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/astronomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>astronomy</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/astrophotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>astrophotography</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/OpenClusters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenClusters</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Orion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Orion</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Pleiades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pleiades</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Hyades" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hyades</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Dwarf3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Dwarf3</span></a></p>
