HST images The Jewel Box (NGC 4755)

HI All,

Very much a favourite telescopic object for all southern hemisphere observers, the Jewel Box is a sensational open cluster.

I believe this is the first time it has been imaged by HST and there are composite HST/La Silla images too in this HST press release:

Enjoy!


Best,
