M44, the Beehive Cluster
Really beautiful open cluster to see with your eye through a telescope in the constellation Cancer and bright enough to be seen with the unaided eye under dark skies. I had some time between targets so I pointed the scope at this cluster, some thin clouds helped to boost the star colours in this shot.
