Description

And then there was one! M34 (or NGC 1039) represents the 109th Messier object I have captured with my setup. It is an open cluster in the constellation Perseus and is about 1,500 light years from Earth. Viewing conditions were very good and I imaged this right aft after I finished with the Double Cluster. I have really become a fan of imaging star clusters especially when some star colors show up.
