The following image of NGC 1647 was taken by Mike Lancaster on the 27th February 2024. The image comprises 100 x 60 second exposures taken using an Altair Hypercam 26C at 300 gain (plus darks, flats and flat darks), through an Orion Optics UK AG12 Astrograph mounted on an EQ8 mount. A 0.95x Wynne Corrector and Astronomik CLS-CCD filter were also employed. No guiding was required. Images were acquired using SharpCap, and the processing was entirely performed in PixInsight.
