M67

Here is M67. I got this image one night from my driveway in heavy light pollution. Too much weather going on in January and I had gotten a little antsy to get out. Full size image and exposure and processing details are at:

Great image - as always.

I keep forgetting to mention this but I really like going to your website.

It is very nice to see your great images, learn how you obtained them, and learn a little about the object - all at once on the same page.

Great work and thank you for sharing!!!

Nice one, Jim! I hear ya about the weather. I haven't had a decent clear night since mid-November.

hi Jim,

despite the light pollution star color is quite good!

Another beautiful cluster for your collection Jim! 8)
Thank you for sharing!

Very nice Jim. I had never heard of the King Cobra cluster before: I like the name and I can see the cobra shape!

Ciao

Thanks folks for the comments.

Jim, I really appreciate your comment on my website. Its good and encouraging feedback. I guess I'll pay the hosting fee another year.

Luca, It isa interesting to hear your comment on the common name - King Cobra Cluster. I have always called it that but I see there is only very spotty reference to this common name on the internet.
