Description

I really like star clusters, none like another. I take pleasure in photographing them, it does not take too much time, especially when bad weather threatens, and to process them. When someone publishes a cluster of stars, I check with DSO Browser if it is within reach and if there is still time. I think that each of us must proceed in more or less the same way to choose certain targets.

I still had to use my Tamron pushed to 1200 mm to swell the target as much as possible.

At least one super giant orange and blue giants make up the cluster, among a hundred stars.
