Winter Bees!

I captured images of two spectacular open clusters recently that are visible in winter from the Northern Hemisphere, M41 (The "Little" Beehive) and M44 (The "Big" Beehive). M41 is more compact and colorful. M44 covers more celestial real estate and is more spread out. Do you have a favorite here?
