Was hoping to pull out more stars in the background but unable to. Not sure whether I should sink in more time into this target.
Praesepe, also known as Messier 44 (M44) or the Beehive Cluster, is a large, bright open star cluster located in the constellation Cancer.
The Beehive Cluster contains about 1,000 stars. The 2 bright stars on either side of the cluster are Asellus Borealis and Asellus Australis. In mythology, they represent the donkeys that Dionysos and Silenus rode into battle against the Titans.
