M67

 

Click image for larger version.

 

M67 is in the constellation Cancer and is often overlooked because of it's next door neighbor, M44, the Beehive Cluster.  This is one of the oldest open clusters known and in some ways, not visually but spectroscopically resembles a globular cluster.  M67 is about 2,500 light years distant.
