Description

For some reason I hadn't discovered this open cluster until recently. Now it's one of my favorites. I posted an image of it in February, but that was taken under a very full moon in 120-second exposures. I wanted to try it again with five minute subs, and in the dark for a change. I wanted to be sure I was doing it justice.
