Description

I decided before I went outside that I was going to image some open clusters that I've not imaged before. I felt like the clusters would be less affected by the moon light than some other objects would. However the image was affected by the moon light. The color was degraded to the point where I could not repair it no matter what I tried. This cluster has red nebulosity associated with the cluster and scattered around the field of view. I've seen really nice images of this. However

because of the Moon I did not capture any of this nebulosity.
