Description | Second capture of a strange evening when it rained right up to the moment it cleared around 9 PM. Because of the 93% moon, I had planned to capture a number of Messier objects, mostly clusters, using my EdgeHD. However, because of the late rain, I couldn't set up in advance, so I decided to observe with the SeeStar instead. M35 is a very bright cluster. NGC2158 just below (southwest) of M35 gives it an exotic look. It appears to be a small, globular cluster, but according to Wikpedia, it's actually an old, metal-poor open cluster. |
