Hi all,
Here is the final image from my shooting spree up in Happy Jack, a nested pair
of star clusters in Canis Major which rides high early on March evenings in the
south. This cluster is so huge that I have never photographed it to its best
advantage but here, I can now fit it perfectly in the 2.5 degree field of my
Orion Astrograph. It is a plethora of stunning colors and sparkle! You might
be interested that Steve Coe has a catalog of huge open clusters, that
currently consists of 2 objects. Ask him about that one some time...
