M34 (Open Cluster, in Perseus)
Observer: Joe Caggiano (e-mail: jcaggiano@mindspring.com)
Instrument: 6-inch equatorial reflector Location: Horsham, Pa., USA
Light pollution: moderate Transparency: excellent Seeing: excellent
Time: Mon Oct 4 02:00:00 2004 UT Obs. no.: 1066
Decided to use my Celestron 15x70 Skymaster Binos due to having company over and did not have the 6" reflector cooled down. The Cluster was very obvious and the amount of stars in the FOV is always overwhelming to me. Even though the FOV in my telescope at my lowest power (30x) is about half of what it is in the binos, the number of stars is 4 times as much. I am certain this is one of my favorite clusters due to the high population of stars.

M34 (Open Cluster in Perseus)
Observer: John Callender (e-mail: jbc@west.net, web: http://www.west.net/~jbc/)
Instrument: 50-mm binoculars Location: Carpinteria, CA, USA
Light pollution: none Transparency: excellent Seeing: fair
Time: Mon Jan 6 05:20:00 1997 UT Obs. no.: 9
Picked it up sweeping with 7x50s, then detected it fairly easily with the naked eye and averted vision as a dim, small patch that was distinctly non-stellar. In the binoculars it was a pretty little cluster, with a half dozen bright stars, especially 2 oriented roughly E-W toward the center with a bright fuzzy patch between them (presumably the unresolved core).
