M67
Open Cluster in Cancer
NGC 2682
Mag 6.1
01/03/14
A rather scattered Open Cluster, just visible as a hazy patch in
binoculars but very nice in 25mm and 12mm where the eyepiece
frames the cluster with a neat border
18/02/15
A completely different Open Cluster to M44, also in Cancer
Small, dense and very faint and best in 12mm
None the less a very attractive sight
There is one much brighter star sitting just in the edge of the
cluster, HIP 43519 at Mag 7.80 but not sure if it is part of the
cluster or, more likely, a foreground star
15/01/16
A completely different Open Cluster from M44, observed just
before it
Very faint, with only HIP 43519 at Mag 7.80 within it and the
rest of the stars below Mag 9
Small even in 12mm but very neat in a starfield that becomes
rapidly sparse compared to the cluster
