Contrasting Clusters in Puppis - NGC 2451 and NGC 2477
NGC 2451 & 2477 in Puppis (SS61 RMod).jpg
This frames a pair of contrasting and superb star clusters in Puppis: rich NGC 2477 on the left and sparse but bright NGC 2451 on the right, the latter centred on the orange star c Puppis.
The blue star at lower left is Naos, Zeta Puppis.
The field is filled with the northernmost tendrils of gas and dust from the vast Gum Nebula.
This is a stack of 8 x 5 minute exposures with the Sharpstar 61mm EDPH III refractor at f/4.4 and the modified (by AstroGear) Canon R at ISO 800. No filter was employed here. Auto-guided on the Astro-Physics AP400 mount with the MGEN3 auto-guider. Taken from Australia in March 2024.
