Here is the familiar
S Monoceros region with the wide field MiniCat 51. Besides the
Cone nebula and S Monoceros nebulosities just above center, we
have two other very interesting targets. Just to the right of
S Monoceros is a dim but very rich yellow tinted star cluster,
Trumpler 5. It is very dust dimmed, and the brightest stars are
magnitude 17! Not a single star in this cluster is visual even
with a 16" telescope. Yet it images very nicely. The blue
dust mote to the right of this is the reflection nebula IC2169,
a seldom imaged highly structured cloud of space dust.
