Description

The Beehive Cluster also known as Praesepe (M44) is a tight little cluster halfway between Gemini and Leo. Nice to look at with just binoculars. Just for fun, I pointed my imaging system here. A bit close-in but very pretty. There was a natural glow about these stars, so I enhanced that a bit. About 1 hour of RGB data using my Ceravolo 300 at f/9 (2700FL).
