Wide-Field Beehive Cluster (M44) Crop After struggling to find any interesting wide-field objects at this time of year, I tried imaging the Beehive Cluster in Cancer. This is a crop of the cluster itself, but I was more interested in seeing what else I could pick up in the full field of 5.6x3.7 degrees (see annotated version).
