M34

And then there was one!  M34 (or NGC 1039) represents the 109th Messier object I have captured with my setup. It  is an open cluster in the constellation Perseus and is about 1,500 light years from Earth.  Viewing conditions were very good and I imaged this right aft after I finished with the Double Cluster.  I have really become a fan of imaging star clusters especially when some star colors show up.
