Another very steady night. Clouds rolled in earlier than expected, so I had to hold off observing Stock 23.

Good sized cluster. The central star almost looks like it could be a carbon star. It has a pale-orange tinge to it that contrasts nicely with the surrounding stars. Overall a very pleasant cluster to observe. I get the impression that there are dimmer stars yet that I cannot quite make out.

[1] Tr 2, Cr 29 (ID)
