More M103 (original) (raw)

[ [M103, M. Purcell] ](../Pics/Jpg/m103mp.jpg)

Michael Purcell took this nice CCD image of open cluster M103. He took this image at his driveway with his Meade 10-inch f/6.3 SCT and ST-7 CCD camera, a 5-minutes exposure. It is one of very few Messier open clusters which are not too large for the CCD chip at Michael's telescope. The image was taken on September 7, 1997.
