Beschreibung:

Found in the Large Magellanic Cloud, this is some kind of young star cluster that looks kind of like a globular cluster. It's got a cute little buddy to the lower right. I can't really say anything better than the old press release for this image did originally. I'm having fun going through old press release images and seeing what I can do with them.

This is one of those woeful old datasets you can mash together and sort of almost make a complete picture but not quite. You can see a good chunk of red H-alpha cloud is missing. I could take the H-alpha off and the cluster looks pretty good without it, but I've somehow grown fond of these funky-looking Frankensteined images.

Data from the following proposals was used: The young double cluster NGC 1850 in the Large Magellanic Cloud WFPC2 Astromertric Calibration [sic] Moving Observations of a Fixed Star Cluster
