Description

A long time since I last photographed an open star cluster. It also serves as a "virtual" starting point for an asterism, also called Kemble's Cascade. 

It was important to me that the star colors are well calibrated and match the real coloring. The Epsilon then added a little goodie to my camera sensor with its light gathering ability by revealing very slight dark nebula structures that run at 90 degrees to the asterism. A great surprise during image processing.
