This is a constellation of Auriga.
At the centre, are the open clusters of M36,
M37 and M38 (also known as the Kids
clusters). This view was taken with the
Olympus OM-1 SLR camera with 50mm
f1.8 Zuiko lens, 3 minute exposure.
The camera was guided piggybacked
on a German-equatorial mounted
Celestron Newtonian telescope at Batu
Layar Beach in Peninsula Malaysia.
