Description

This is Collinder 399, also called the Coathanger Cluster, shot from the backyard in Plano. Not big enough to be a constellation, and too random to be a cluster, it's still a lovely set of different colored stars set against the backdrop of the Milky Way.

About 2 hours total exposure across LRGB filters.
