Hello all,

I just took a few pics from my backyard and found what I believe to be an open cluster. It seems also very easy to find and it might be a well known object, however, I'm unable to identify it (I couldn't find it on Stellarium). I've loaded the image to astrometry but it's going to take pretty long for that.

It's the one on the right side of the second picture.

Any tip?

oh sorry its praesepe in cancer

Thanks Perrin! ;)

So it's the well known "Beehive" :o

Earlier, I tried to compare my picture with the ones of M44 and other clusters listed on wikipedia, but for some reason I thought it looked different and skipped this option. ;)

Problem Solved ;) Thanks again

Regards
