Description

Taking advantage of a clear sky, with some moon light I did try this open cluster, Collinder 135, quite spread out one, but with nice dust surrounding it. Also the two brighter stars, upsilon 1 and 2, many stars of the cluster are blue stars, being U1 and U2 variable stars. Pi Puppis, also known as Ahadi,  is a giant orange star in a binary system.
