Just over a week ago, @starstryder posted a wonderful piece on the life of open clusters. If you missed it, wander over here... https://astrodon.social/@starstryder/113507811810656081

This inspired me to do a quick one night tour of the features she described.

To my shame, I had never heard of the Hyades Cluster, so that was a particular adventure for me. It also proved too much of a challenge for my little Dwarf3 - the 3 degree FoV is just not quite enough to capture the whole cluster.

Now, these are not the greatest shots of these features - I had work the next day, so I had to cram everything into about 1 1/2 hours. Great astrophotography this is not. But what it is is a tour through time. It was, however, also a chance to test out the scheduling feature of the beta software for the Dwarf.
