Description

I think this is a beautiful group of star clusters in Puppis, particularly in the eyepiece.  The scattered planetary nebulae add additional interest.  No pixel peeping, please... my Hyperstar's collimation was not perfect, but I still enjoyed working on this older data.  Star clusters are often neglected these days by astrophotographers, but I think that they're still worthy targets.
