Title

Cooling Tower Cluster in Cygnus

About this image

M29 in Cygnus is relatively small for an open cluster, though I was quite intrigued by its colourful shiny compacted stars, in an amazing field within the Milky Way. Someone must have seen a "cooling tower" resemblance, I don't. I would have called it little Pleiades!
