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,



Chris
