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
