Used my Lumix GH2 and Canon 50mm lenses with a proper adapter to capture this composition of 20 shots featuring Jupiter in the left and M44 on the right. The Beehive Cluster, also known as Praesepe (Latin for "manger"), M44, NGC 2632, or Cr 189, is an open cluster in the constellation Cancer. It is one of the nearest open clusters to the Solar System, and it contains a larger star population than most other nearby clusters.

I used DeepSkyStacker to stack the 20 pictures each with a 10s exposure, along with 50 bias frames and 20 dark frames.

I've tuned up saturation to bring out colors, that's all i did in post. No colors were added.
