Description

Messier 67 (M67), nicknamed the Golden Eye or the King Cobra cluster, is located in the northern constellation Cancer, the Crab.

This was a fun object to work on. It is very glowy and all that fuzzy light around the stars was a challenge to tame down to just the little I left. It looked too strange with all the fuzzy glow.

I took 60 subframes of each channel (LRGB) and shortened the exposures to 90 seconds.
