Image Details:

Not a great night at all. I set out to capture some galaxies but no luck. The skies would not cooperate. I must have said something about buying a new battery and memory stick for my digicam.  Well anyway... here is my first image of M44 Praesaepe. It is also known as the Beehive cluster. I don't think it looks like a hive. Maybe a bunch of swarming bees.  The image below is a sum of 10 images captured at ISO 400 and 8 seconds. Stacked in K3CDD Tools.
