Description:
This sprawled beyond the FOV with the 35mm, so I popped in the 35MM. Here it filled almost the entire FOV. It seemed to have a 6-fold symmetry, with concentrations of stars forming the 3 axes crossint at approximaetly 60 degrees to each other. At the south there was a double star which i ID as STF 2375, a tight pair with a separation of 2". I could barely split this at 200X.
