NGC 2477 Open Cluster
Wikipedia describes it this way:
NGC 2477 is a stunning cluster spanning about 27 arcminutes of sky, almost as large as the full Moon, making it one of the largest open clusters in the sky. It looks like a globular cluster resolved at high resolution, yet it lacks the dense central concentration characteristic of a globular. Burnham noted that some observers have commented that, although it is smaller than M46, it contains more stars and is more compact.
Just a bit of practice, so that I would not get rusty from going too long without processing anything.
