Description

Imaged the open cluster NGC 2158 and M35 above it durning the Orange Blossom Star Party. Event was mostly clouded out but found an hour one evening. Since seeing wasn't good , just went for something quick. NGC 2158 is a metal-poor old open cluster. It was once thought to be a globular cluster. It is about 9000 light years further than the M35 above.
