    Astronomy Adventure - Open Cluster IC4665

    This nice little open cluster located in constellation Ophiuchus is actually a naked eye object in clear, dark skies and provides a nice view with binoculars. Like the Swan Nebula, it was first "discovered" by Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1745.


    Here are the technical details:
    Scope: Starblast 4.5; tracking on
    Magnification: ~30x
    Camera: iPhone6 using NightCapPro app; ISO 8000
    Processing: 1x15 sec.
