I seem to shoot this cluster every year. It's not an obsession, though it would be easy to become obsessed with such a wonderful cluster. You should have seen it last night in the SV80ED and the 35mm Ultrascopic eyepiece! Wow! I've never shot the cluster with this scope, though, for what it's worth. This image is shrunk about 25% from original.
