Re: 10 favorite Open Star Cluster's

Re: 10 favorite Open Star Cluster's
Yes it is too far south. I observed it several times while in Mexico at 19 deg north latitude.

Re: 10 favorite Open Star Cluster's
Most of those clusters mentioned are far north and a few make an appearence down south too. The Jewel box is awesome(saw her tonight) and there are many others. The "southern Plaeides" etc. and many others that don't have a M designation down here. I love open clusters and often target them.
Wish we all could trade places(north/south) for just one week in a a lifetime, just to 'see' the other half!

Re: 10 favorite Open Star Cluster's
I would gladly trade with you Clinton, though not to Durban. You could observe in our state of Wyoming, and I would go to say Botswana. Then we could both have nice views of new objects! I can guarantee you would be lost in those skies for two reasons, some unfamiliar stars, and more importantly way, way more of them visible to the naked eye than you're used to. But that is a real fun way to get lost! Originally Posted by kingclinton j.gardavsky and andro-mike-eda like this.Alan || My DSO Blog:
