Saturn in M44
Lately, Saturn has been sitting in the constellation of Cancer. Last night, I took this photo with my 80-300mm zoom lens to capture Saturn and the Beehive cluster, M44 from Cancer. Few days ago, Saturn was even closer to the cluster, but I couldn’t view it due to clouds. Because of its retrograde motion, Saturn will come closer to the cluster again later in the year.
