OK - looks like I'm first up on this one - but it is easier for me than you guys

A couple of nits on the challenge page: the coathanger asterism is MUCH larger than 1 degree - more like 4 or so. Next time I can see past the bottom of the clouds, I'll give you a better estimate

In both my 4.5" and 10" it is way to large to see anything resembling a cluster or an asterism; however, in my 10x50 UltraView bincoulars, it really jumps out at you and looks like a coathanger with a straight bar (not the triangle style)

Depending on the orientation, it can sometime appear a bit like the Leo constellation - at least part of it
