From 10-12 October, Mars will temporarily appear as a member of the Beehive Cluster (M44, Praesepe). A brilliant binoculars and #astrophotography opportunity. 🔭 🧪

Guesses on this star cluster? It's a Messier object. Answer in the alt text.

I was looking through my archives, I apparently haven't imaged this in 4 years.

Per chiudere aggiungo una foto molto migliore di M44 Praesepe tra i due Aselli, scattata tempo fa sotto un cielo scuro.

Spero guarderete il cielo anche voi una delle prossime sere per cercare il Presepe.

A very quick session with M44, the Beehive Cluster, because I woke up early and couldn't stand to waste half an hour of clear darkness. #Astronomy #Astrophotography
