Photographing nebulae and galaxies on the opening night of Tähtikallio's little Christmas weekend would not have made sense due to the moon phase. The weather forecast still looked quite bad in the morning, but the tearing of the cloud cover gave the cell the opportunity to capture two fine and dense open star clusters.
