Description | As a "cluster" this is one of the wimpiest in the Messier Catalog. Many of the photos show it next to an emission nebula, which adds interest. However, it's a wider shot than with my EdgeHD at F10, and out of frame. Sigh. See my rant about the Messier Catalog in M29. It applies here too. |
