Observe NGC 2169 in Orion

To all who have seen Nebulas and every thing else awe inspiring then check out the star cluster NGC 2169 in Orion.
I have observed this on many occasions and it gets the wow factor second to Saturn.
You will know when it is in the field of view because the number 37 will be looking right back at you.
14mm or about should do the trick.
There is a finder map enclosed.
This is not new but tell me what you think.

The red writing at the bottom of the pic reads NGC 2169
Cheers Kev.

This may be a better way to find it in this pic.
When you look in the view finder in this rerion the cluster is very very small but it is there so line up on that and there it is.

Cheers Kev.
