Another open star clusters from the ESO list. These objects are not as spectacular as images of galaxies or gas nebulae, nor as photogenic as globular clusters. But I like this loose collection of colourful and sparkling stars floating in space. Visually, through a binocular or telescope, they show themselves in their most beautiful splendor.
