Description

M34 is an open cluster in Perseus in a distance of 1630 light years. It consists of about 100 stars. This was shot close to full moon when no narrowband-suitable targets were high enough in the sky. I'm amazed at the multitude of small background galaxies in this short integration time. 

I have gone very soft on post processing on purpose to preserve a more natural rendering.
