Novembers MessiersPosted By Dave budlong |
Well guys and gals as I look over how far we have come since I started this back in May, I have concluded I blew it. Missed M18 back in the Summer. Had I put that up and everybody gotten that, when you finished the list for this month M1 - M39 would have been in the rear view mirror. As it sits M18 is going to be a really late night object in April. So I guess everyone is going to have to Marathon.
This months list is going to be great for those of you looking up with Bino's.
M36 Open Cluster in Auriga, easy bino object.
M37 Another easy open cluster in Auriga, good for bino's, best of the 3
M38 Yet another easy Bino find, open cluster in Auriga
M1 My personal gripe with the whole Messier list, the Crab Nebula. Why is it #1? It's certainly not the most impressive thing on the list, still it is fun to look at.
M35 Great open cluster at the feet of the twins in Gemini, also good bino target.
M44 The Beehive Cluster, this cluster is naked eye, not in my backyard but maybe in yours. At worse you should be able to find it in Bino's though. It is at the center of the constellation Cancer.
M67 Open Cluster in Cancer, Our final object for the month and also a bino object.
To complete this months list you will need to dress warm because the last couple objects do not come up until late.
Stay Warm and Clear Skies
