Description:
A rosette within a rose at x40. About 11
stars of the same magnitude. Seven of
the same magnitude in outer rose, describing
an arc. We’re about 7 degrees NW of the
“Demon Star.” The inner rose is a mini
“Orion.” Easily count 60 stars at this
magnification. Use a Deep Sky and a dozen
more resolve and the background glow,
with outliers. At x80 you see a few hundred stars
in the inner rosette arranged in binary-like
clumps. Glow quite intense in middle zone of
the inner rosette at this power with filters.
