Description: This cluster is a little bit too big for 36x, but very nice.
Some brighter stars visible "in front of" some fainter ones. Found a faint
double within the cluster with 6mm ortho, another one (brighter and wider)
just in the center of M39. Interesting object for suburban conditions -
I think it won't be half as nice from the country (too many background stars
in Cygnus).
