NGC 6752 (Starfish Cluster)

Click image above to view full size
This cluster is nicknamed the Starfish Cluster. In this image however it's too small to distinguish any meaningful detail to make it look like a starfish.

There is a galaxy in the top left of this image also, however I'm unsure what it's designation is.

Generally I think this is quite a nice wide field view of stars, even though there's no great detail in any one particular object.
