Astrophotography by Eddie Guscott

M35
In the M35 is the large open cluster to the right of the image. At upper left, the smaller cluster is NGC2158. This striking pair of clusters are in the constellation of Gemini. This is only a line of sight alignment as NGC2158 lies 5 times more distant than M35
