Description

Also this year, with the advent of spring, we dust off the old friend, my first telescope ... Once the collimation has been fixed, as always the Newton gives details, colors and really breathtaking spikes. In photo m44, nativity scene or beehive cluster, bright open cluster visible in the constellation of Cancer. Its history is of particular interest as it was the first object observed by Galileo Galilei with the first telescope. It is about 600 light years from us.
