Date/time of observation: November 1, 2005.0120 UT
Location of site: Stockholm, Sweden (Lat 59:33, Elev 61m/200ft)
Site classification: Suburban
Sky darkness: 5 <Bortle Scale (9 worst)>
Seeing: 4 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>
Moon presence: None - moon not in sky
Instrument: Bresser 4.8 inch refractor
Magnification: x40, x80
Filter(s): Deep Sky
Object(s): M 37
Category: Open cluster.
Class:
Constellation: Auriga
Data: mag size
Position: RA c. 5hr:c. 40m DEC c. +31:
Description:
Poorly visible at x40. Pick it up to x80 and with the deep sky, resolve it well. A small "house" is formed by five stars, the roof pointing NW at a tilt in this seeing and these stars are all around the same + magnitude /+12-14?). Taken with two stars as a tail to this house, you get an arrow with half a flag point thrusting north west.
Mist then prevents much more deep sky seeing.
