M35 / NGC 2168 - Shoe-Buckle Cluster - telescope processed image. M35 contains several hundred stars across 24 light-years, located about 2,800 light-years away in the constellation Gemini.

M35 / NGC 2168 - Shoe-Buckle Cluster - unprocessed image. It sits right next to NGC 2158, a much older, denser cluster that appears smaller and yellower due to its vast 12,000 light-year distance.

Good Friday morning. Starting to share some images from last night. Starting with observations from the s50, here is #M35 / #NGC2168 - #ShoeBuckleCluster. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur

Star cluster NGC 1807 - Telescope processed image. Long thought to be an open cluster, recent studies suggest NGC 1807 is actually an asterism—a random alignment of stars at different distances.

Star cluster NGC 1807 - unprocessed image. Located on the border of Taurus and Orion, this group sits near the "real" cluster NGC 1817, creating a beautiful double-cluster appearance.

M35 / NGC 2168 - Shoe-Buckle Cluster - telescope processed image. Spanning 28 arcminutes, M35 appears nearly the same size as a full moon in our sky and contains roughly 500 stars about 2,800 light-years away.

M35 / NGC 2168 - Shoe-Buckle Cluster - unprocessed image. It is often viewed alongside the much older, denser cluster NGC 2158, creating a stunning "double cluster" effect through small telescopes.

#Star #cluster time!! Here are observations of #NGC1807 and #M35 / #NGC2168 - #TheShoeBuckleCluster. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur
