Sorry for the delay in getting these here, but with the moon not rising until late it's the perfect time to observe them for the rest of this month!

Read all about this object at the November Observing Challenge page (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/index.php?id=69,251,0,0,1,0).

This is a neat little cluster that I have observed every since I started stargazing in the early 80's with my Celestron Cometron 40 back in Malaysia. Very easy object. Easy to find as well (star at Sirius then move south to a little triangle of stars and then a little to right of this triangle). Looks good even when the moon is in the sky. Have not sketched this one yet though but I will try to do it soonish.
