Auriga

Thanks David. Am sure we will have quite a few images coming through as it moves south.

Had a play with another image to highlight some of the treasures in Auriga.

Capella - Alpha Aurigae, mag .08, and is a spectroscopic binary of 2 yellow stars.
M36 - small but bright open cluster of about 60 stars, lying 3900 LY away.
M37 - largest OC in Auriga and consists of about 150 stars and lies 4200 LY away.
M38 - an OC of about 30 stars, at 1500 LY away.
