Description

During nights illuminated by the moon, I like photographing star clusters. These subjects demand less stringent conditions regarding sky darkness and total exposure, thus serving as an excellent adjunct to imaging primary celestial objects.
------
M37 is an open cluster ~400 mln. years old, located almost at anticenter of our Galaxy at a distance ~ 4.500 light years away. It has ~150 stars brighter than 12.5m
