Star Clusters - Globular and Open - post your images of clusters

[Jeff WX1USN]

Clusters are seen in several forms, Open where the associated stars are spread out, Tight is it sounds a group of stars near each other, and Globular a "ball" of stars often looking like a Christmas Tree ornament, they can have hundreds of thousands of stars in the globular.

This is M45 a open cluster that has nebulosity associated with it. It is visible to the naked eye looking like a little dipper.The thin line is a satellite.
