Description

I never imaged this popular asterism before. It is a beautiful area with lots of color. I want to get more time on this for a better image. This was just a test run. Description from Wikipedia: "Collinder 399 (Cr 399) is a random grouping of stars located in the constellation Vulpecula near the border with Sagitta. Collinder 399 is known as Al Sufi's Cluster or Brocchi's Cluster. The brighter members of this star cluster form an asterism also known as the Coathanger."
