Description:
A few months ago, I presented the first part of my personal Messier astrophotography marathon, and now I'm showing you the second, in which I've grouped together all the open clusters observed by Messier in the 18th century. I photographed my first open cluster, or rather, my first pair of open clusters, in the Messier catalog precisely four years ago (in 2022) with a Qhy168c. The objects in question were M46 and M47 in the constellation Puppis, which I managed to fit together in the frame using the 80mm diameter, 480mm focal length refractor.
