Open clusters are deep sky low hanging fruit objects that let you image quite a few in a single night. If you're new to astro-imaging open clusters are great for familiarization with focusing and autoguiding. The eleven open clusters were all acquired during one night out each using 30 x 30 second exposures; plenty of time for familiarization and practice.
Setup: Celestron 8/AVX, Starizona Night Owl 0.4x focal reducer, ZWO ASI294MC Pro, Orion Starshoot Mini Autoguider.
