Open Cluster NGC 206 in the Andromeda Galaxy

This is a large stellar field designated as NGC 206, it is located in one of the spiral arms of the Andromeda Galaxy. Also marked in this view are a few globular clusters found in the same field of view. I used information from Robert Gendler Astrophotography (www.robgendlerastropics.com/) to help identify some of the globular clusters in my image.
