Crazy sensitive webcam. Star cluster rising over El Capitan. Easy one for amateur astronomers.



Sky Safari App said this about the (redacted) asterism of an open star cluster.



This is the webcam shot magnified way too much (to match the above)
Fuzzy, but this is a webcam, not a telescope.
Noisy!



Interesting.

Note: One climber or team on El Capitan for the night.
