Description

The unique pair of open clusters, M35 and the compact NGC2158 imaged in LRGB.

I'm not going to lie, I love stars. I love images of stars. Often times the most pleasing images to me are those of globular clusters, shimmering like diamonds. This subject, the odd pair of overlaying open clusters, satiated my appetite for an image of tiny diamond like stars.

I really like this image...It's simple, rich and elegant.

As always, critiques are more than welcome.
