A 35mm image of the Milky Way from the Tallgrass Prairie from a few years ago. The stack was created with Sequator using 10 different images. The Tallgrass has some of the Darkest Sky in Oklahoma that is readily accessible during Milky Way season.

M44 - Beehive Cluster
610 light years away in the constellation Cancer. It is an open cluster with approximately 1000 stars in the local group. It is a naked eye object only in really dark skies, but it makes a great visual object in a telescope or binoculars.
