Description

Object type : Open starcluster in reflection nebula
Distance : 444 lighyears

Shooted this cluster a few times before, but I was never happy with the result. This time I shooted 100 exposures of 2 minutes under perfect circumstances. The endresult is much better than all other results before. This time, I'm happy, but there is allways room for improvement.
