Thru a telescope you don’t see nearly as many background stars, but the clusters aren’t difficult to find. Nice picture.

kinda cool how there are clusters scattered all over- who knows how far they are from other clusters or stars- weird that they seem to cluster in groups like that-

Mtn Climber; Thanks for posting! Its totally overwhelming if you really try to comprehend the dimensions and sizes involved.

I suspect that if you lived in a planet somewhere in the middle of that cluster you might not experience night if, of course, you were able to survive what would probably be a constant bombardment of various radiation types from all those hot blue white stars!
