Telescopes are in some ways like time machines. They reveal galaxies so far away that their light has taken billions of years to reach us. We in astronomy have an advantage in studying the universe, in that we can actually see the past.

M47 (Open cluster) Right ascension: 7h 37m Declination: -1° 31' Constellation: Puppis Date/time: 2013.03.02 20:30 UT Equipment: 4.5" f/8 Newtonian FoV: 57' Magnification and filter(s): 60x Seeing: 6/10 Transparency: 4/5 SQM: 21.36 m/as2 Temperature: -9°C Humidity: low Wind: none Sight: 3 - definite details, interesting look Difficulty: 1 - instantly visible, no dark adaptation or averted vision needed Position: 3 - moderate, some starhopping needed Location: Lipótfa, Zselic, Hungary Observer: Ferenc Lovró Description: Large, loose open cluster with many faint members, near the much fainter M46 open cluster. This object has fewer stars, yet it still looks a lot brighter. I'm getting frozen now. Hi-resolution image: [ reversed sketch | original sketch ]
