This is the best open cluster I've seen. Due to light pollution and thin haze, it appeared as a nebulous patch with direct vision. Averted vision helped to completely resolve the cluster into numerous stars. I think I'll get a much, much better view of the cluster from a dark site.

Found with difficulty after getting lazy, and instead of star-hopping from M36 just generally sweeping "thataway." Star-hopping is almost always going to be faster, even for bright objects like prominent Messier clusters.

At x80 this superb, rich cluster filled the view and in my opinion is the best of the Messier clusters in Auriga. A prominant orangey coloured star lies at the heart of this great cluster.

Midway in size between M38 and M36; a medium-brightness fuzzy patch with a brighter center. Swept up in Milky Way "bug hunt."
