This is a stunning shot Kathy!

The color is wonderful, and the diffraction spikes really do this cluster justice. Well done ma’am!

First time I've ever heard this one called "Praesepe" (Latin for manger). Learn something new every day as they say.

I wonder how the ancients came up with that one ...

Anyway, nice image.

Probably the same way the moderns came up with "Beehive"! A random name generator.

Thanks!
