Description

A short break in the Galaxy Season 2021 (after midnight, as second object) with a lovely, clearly to be seen in the final picture, open star cluster surrounded by huge amounts of hydrogen gas, lying northwest of the far more famous "Butterfly Nebula", IC 1318, therefore not so often imaged.
