Last evening, My brother Anthony & I observed many objects with our computerized 5" MAK. In Puppis we had the pleasure of viewing six open clusters. We also viewed many other clusters including M44 & M35. We also observed three asteroids, Vesta, Eunomia & Acmphtrite. We saw Galaxies M51, Ngc 5195, M81 & M82. In total, we observed 31 objects including the conjunction of The Pleiades & Mars. It was a great night of observing!

It is a very good cluster. Averted vision almost completely resolved the cluster into stars as my observation was done from the city on that night with a lot of light pollution.From a dark sky, I think I can see the planetary nebula super-imposed on the cluster, using a larger telescope and a nebula filter.

Very large. 104X took up all of eyepiece. Would recommend 60X. Nice full field. Only about 5 stars stuck out in the field. However, this cluster has a few hundred stars. This is a big cluster. I did not detect planetary nebula 2438 due to only fair seeing.
