Description:
8 Mar 2004 evening:
Short evening observing session before moonrise with the
TV76. NGC 2169, the "37 Cluster", in Orion. Very nice little
cluster. Pretty little angles and pairs of stars. I can't
really see the 37 shape however. In fact, what I thought was
the 7 turned out to be the 3. Need darker sky and/or higher
magnification.

Just revisited the 37 cluster tonight with the 10" f/5 dob.
Very nice. The 37, although upside down, are obvious.
