Open cluster M93 in Puppis, photographed by the Burrell Schmidt telescope
of Case Western Reserve University's Warner and Swasey Observatory, on
Kitt Peak, near Tucson, Arizona. This small but bright cluster of about
100 stars obviously exhibits interesting colors, especially some red
giants. This image is a CCD color composite, taken on September 20th and
21st 1997.
