• Condition: E5
• Location: Home, Spearfish: 44.49, -103.87

• Target: C64, NGC2362
• Const: Canis Major
• RaDec: 7h18m -24°57
• Scope: ST80
• Setting: 57x

A very peaceful cluster. τ Canis Majoris shines brightly and fainter stars are "twinkling" around it. The effect reminds me of sunlight glinting off of a surface of water. Very calming.

• Target: C58, NGC2360
• Const: Virgo
• RaDec: 7h17m -15°37
• Scope: ST80
• Setting: 57x, AV

Evident once you detect it, but it would be easy to miss. Not getting much of a twinkle. Four of the stars near the center seem to be the brightest. AV helps bring out even more of the fainter stars.
