The star cluster at the core of the Rosette Nebula was easy, though the nebula itself was not detected.

Spent just a few minutes examining the cluster at the heart of the Rosette Nebula at 48x, looking for traces of nebulosity. Didn't see any.

Swept up in binocular "bug hunt" in the winter Milky Way. A mini-parallelogram of 6 faint stars, visible to the naked eye as a faint patch in averted vision. Very pretty in the 7x50s. I almost didn't record it in my list, thinking it might be too sparse to be a charted cluster; only afterward did I discover it was the cluster at the heart of the Rosette Nebula.
