Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download
The large and sparse open cluster in Ophiuchus called IC 4665, an object easy in binoculars. The star at centre is Celbalrai or Beta Ophiuchi. The 7.5 x 5° field is close to a binocular field of view.

This is a stack of 9 x 4-minute exposures with the SharpStar 61mm apo refractor at f/4.5 and with the Canon R6 at ISO 800. Taken from home October 1, 2021 on a slightly hazy night with the field into the southwest.
