Hi all,
This is a more in depth close up with the venerable 12.5" f/5 on the very 
center of the huge open cluster M44 - The Bee Hive cluster in Cancer.  This 
central area is of great interest as both a colorful photographic target with 
its golden and blue gem like bright stars, and for visual observers for the 
sprinkling of numerous faint (and I mean FAINT) galaxies in this field.  If you 
have looked at any of these galaxies in the telescope, I would like to hear of 
your observations for a possible article.

Clear Skies,
