I have some confusion I hope someone can help me with.
I am removing the Beehive Cluster off my obs report as further investigation (thanks to PaddY) has shown me that's not the cluster I saw. I thought the Beehive Cluster was in Canis major, when in fact it's in Cancer. And I have a habbit of calling it M41 when it's M44, so go figure
I keep getting these objects confused against each other, in name and constellation
.
Two questions, if you'll can help me please:
Beehive Cluster: I've only viewed this through a scope. Is it easy to view in binos?
M41: I saw a small fuzzy patch around where M41 should be. Is this what M41 looks like through binos? If not, what would it be?
Many thanks.
