Description

Ok, let's chant together this wonderful Queens song: Another one bites the dust! 😊😊. Yup, one more done for my list of all Messier objects. This one did not have an extra bonus with it, no PN, no rotten egg 😊, but I tried to make the stars even more sparkling. Paid some more attention to color and also tried to make the stars a bit more crispy, the last image of M46 was lacking a bit. An open cluster is of course not earth-shattering, still, would be kind of cool to have your home world very close to one of those, would be quite a night sky!

This image has several versions, special attention I believe deserves the wide field (Version D) and the extra bonus (weak) PN in Version G. The wide field shows in my opinion nothing of the glory an open star cluster can have at a closer look. Hence, I decided to split this image into the 2 images that I posted.

Of course, I had to add M47 to the overall catalog image (Version H). Yes, still quite a few missing, but one after another and one day (hopefully not too far away) it will be complete.

Carpe Noctem!
