I have only images M46 once before-last year when I was doing my Messier Marathon. When I imaged it then, I did not get as wide a view as I captured tonight. When I was looking at it in Stellarium, I noticed that there was a planetary nebula in the midst of the open cluster that is M46 and thought it would be a neat object to image. I’ve centered the image on the nebula (NGC 2438) which throws the open cluster a bit off center, but I like the image better this way.
