Description

I had a break in the weather after many days of rain and fog and this is my first attempt of a star cluster RGB-Ha. Messier 38 is a huge open star cluster in Auriga and the background is dense in Ha regions. The photo also captures a neighbor, smaller cluster NGC1907  floating in dense Ha clouds. Such a beautiful pair and stunning starry background.
