Description

Here we have Messier 39, a beautiful open cluster of approximately 30 members, located in Cygnus.

This cluster is relatively young with all of its members still on the main sequence and is also one of the nearest Messier objects at a distance of approximately 824 ly. The cluster occupies an area of about 7 ly. in diameter.

The iinformation above is from messier-objects.com.

Another full moon type project for me. Probably could have used a little more integration time but it is starting to drop out of a good position quite early in the evening. HyperStar helps with that...

Any comment/criticism welcome and clear skies!
