Description

Look into the clear spring sky, Messier 44 is visible with the naked eye.
At this time, the Open Star Cluster is high in the south. With binoculars you have about the impression as in my picture. After the well-known Plejards, it is the second brightest star cluster in the Messier catalog.
Maybe with my picture I can arouse your interest in enjoying the starry sky with binoculars in the galaxy season.
I didn't crop the picture so that the impression comes across better.I would be very happy about it.

CS and stay well...
