Description

I like shooting a cluster now and then. The rich, colorful star fields are a pleasant reprieve from suburban narrowband imaging. The clusters are around 7,500 light years away in the constellation Perseus, near Cassiopeia. They are only a few hundred light years apart, and contain young, hot supergiants.
