Messier 67 in Cancer
It is estimated that this open cluster contains over 500 stars and is around 20 lightyears across. It is around 2800 lightyears distant and age ranges vary between 3.2 and 5 billion years – so it could be as old as our solar system.
This image is the result of just over 2h of RGB data capture from Horsham, over two evenings in January 2025. A ZWO ASI2600 MM Pro camera was used, through an 8-inch Teleskop-Service Ritchey-Chretien reflector.
