Reflection Nebula plus Open star cluster

Reflection Nebula plus Open star cluster

Taken with AT111ED on Celestron CGEM mount- NGC1931 is an open cluster surrounded by a Reflection Nebula, located in the constellation Auriga a degree west of M36.  Visible in dark sky area with a 3" scope.   This is a 70 min Combined Lum. and Ha images (30x2min 2x2 Ha and 5x2min 1x1  guided images).   The cluster is in the bright area.  I will try to blend in another image on this one to show the cluster, mainly 4 bright stars.  A color image can be seen in March issue of Astronomy.  I usually find my imaging subject in Astronomy each month.
