Open Clusters: M34, NGC457, NGC869, NGC1342, NC1528, NGC1545

Clear night, near full moon high to the east, so why not image a few open clusters. All were imaged with 30x15s subframes. Configuration: Celestron 8, Starizona Night Owl F/4 focal reducer/corrector, ASI294MC Pro. Stack averaged with Autostakkert 3, gradient removal with GraXpert, post processing with Paintshop Pro 2021.
