The Beehive Cluster (a.k.a. Praesepe or Messier 44), in the center of the constellation Cancer. It is faintly visible by naked eye as a blob in Houston TX. M44 is a quite big star cluster, so only a focal length of 135mm is needed.

  1. somebody that works in that store knows, or knows who you can contact for that info.
