Description

I took the opportunity of the full moon to shoot another open cluster.

They are usually forgotten for nebulas and galaxies which are of course much more interesting and sexy. But it always reminds me that before having my first scope at only 33 years old, I was always looking at them or the moon with a simple pair of binoculars and it's actually the stars themselves who gave me the "deep sky curiosity" and appetit for further discoveries related to space.

My focal length didn't allow me to take his beautiful neighbour in the same fiels, the cluster NGC2158. This pair looks fantastic when they are on the same field/picture.
