I observed M44 in Cancer with my 4-inch Tal 100RS, and could add more than 100 stars into my sketch. I also mnaged to identify a few very interesting stars, a few red giants and one very interesting blue straggler. Read all about this very rich open cluster, and have a look at the sketch and color magnitude diagram, where you can see the identified stars, just by moving the mouse pointer over the images........ enjoy!!!
Today I added an article to the "About observing stars" section of this website. In the article with the title "About my observing reports" I try to give you a description of how "to read" my reports on on stars and starclusters, but I also explain why I am interested in these wonderful objects.
