Open star clusters are pretty cool and can make for spectacular wide field shots. Globular clusters are more tightly bound clusters. Below is M-13, a globular cluster, about 25,000 light years from earth, coming in at about 13 billion years old. It contains several hundred thousand stars. M-13 orbits our Milky Way Galaxy and the blue stars in the image are newly formed stars. I obtained this image using a consumer grade DSLR camera.
