Description:
Night of 27 overcast at times. Gave first light to the Celestron 100 x 25's.
About 3.4 degrees NE of Beta Cas. This open cluster appears clearly like a 12-
14´thumbprint, smeared at the bottoms, between Rho and Sigma Cas, L-to-R in
the binoculars. (Using 16 x 50s in the same area a year ago, I did not discern
this cluster.) The surface brightness is low and I see a strong glow from the
interior, but I don't see this until the perfect night of 29 July.
These binoculars have some light gathering power but the stand requires you
adjust it so that you can see higher.
