M44
About this celestial object
A brief look: Mars brushes M44 in the hazy low sky.
The Beehive Cluster M44 is rich in stars and appears grainy and lively in a telephoto view.
Very low altitude and humid air swallow contrast; Mars still shines conspicuously among the cluster stars.
5 frames total 50 seconds at 250 mm f/5.
