Description

Object type : emission nebula
Distance : 2,700 lightyears

I did never have interest in photographing this cluster, because there are a lot of other beautiful objects nearby. Nevertheless, this week I had 3 small sessions on this cluster. Not enough data so far, but enough to get my first photo of this object. I allways can add data later on.
