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.

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.
