About this image

This cluster was featured by Stewart Moore in the latest issue of the Journal (Vol. 135, No. 6, p428). I thought that as it has been slightly overlooked on this gallery I would have a go with my Dwarf 3. This image is based on about 25 minutes of observation. Auto parameters in the Dwarf and Stellar Studio. Binned x2.
