#M44 (the #BeehiveCluster) was one of the first open star clusters studied by Galileo when he pointed his refracting telescope to the night sky. #astronomy #astrophotography #deepskyimaging #seestars50
And seeing the #BeehiveCluster with the naked eye. Wow.

M44 - The Beehive Cluster. With the naked eye, this is just a vague fuzzy patch - the Ancient Greek poet Aratus called it "Little Mist"...but in Ancient Greek. It really jumps out with binoculars.
