Description

I don't typically like imaging star clusters -- I think they're kind of boring for images (although they're very pretty at the eyepiece) -- but I needed a target to fill some time when the target I wanted to image was too close to the Moon one night. I think it actually came out rather nice; the Takahashi telescope produces nice stars, and I managed to get some decent star color.
