This image is included in our signature series.
It began with the simple thought: what would it look like if I took the monochrome images I captured with the Redcat and the one-shot color images captured with HyperStar? The result is this, one of my favorite versions of the Seven Sisters.
See where this image is located in space via the WorldWide Telescope.
