I've just got back from my backyard, where I saw an increadible open cluster NGC 6871 with an octuple (!) star embedded - Burnham 440 with friends. They are grouped in a quadruple, a triple, and a double. EdZ has mentioned this cluster a couple of times. I'm sure Inge will love it!

Among other things I saw a lot of detail in the Veil (the Eastern part) and a segment of the Crescent nebula (all with UHC filter).

Dmitrij,

You are right, indeed. I love this object, and I often return to it. The Burnham multiple is so delicate, and the entire field of view is very pleasing. Not a challenge for those hunting for the faintest DSO or closest double, but recommended for everyone.
