Well last night looked nice and clear, the meal was all prepared, so out came the 12" LB complete with Arvo Navis. I lined up on Spica and Acrux and then set about my tour.
I told AN to find open clusters in Scorpius region, and WOW
What a lot! I spent some time on my favourite - NGC 6231, then let AN take over. What a surprise... I was told to go to Collinder 316 - never heard of that one - boy, it was HUGE and beautiful
Next it told me to go to vd B-H 205 (What on Earth is that??) UN believable!! I went and got my Meade 26mm wide angle "Cluster Buster" and the cluster was too big even for that!! Magnificent clusters - whirls, blues, oranges and doubles.
Anyone know what vd B-H 205 is?? Not in my atlas. I think they are all mixed up - clusters within clusters!! They are now in my special list of favourites. Thanks Argo Navis for finding them for me
