Details:
I have always been fascinated by M46 in Puppis, an open cluster that also seems to contain a planetary nebula, NGC2438. It isn’t in the cluster, in fact, it is just a line of sight effect. I imaged this with my 8" SCT the other night, but since I couldn’t get the whole of M46 in field, to set the scene, the first image in the collage is from the window-sill observatory's telescope from last year, followed by the recent images:
