What a fabulous constellation perched upon the milky way.

Mick--

so did you let your gaze wonder over to the nearby coathanger cluster (aka
Brocchi's cluster/cr399)? really nice binoc object.

clear, dark skies--

You refer to a cluster that is near Sagitta in Vulpecula and some 8
degrees south of Alberio which places it in a position I would not
have considered. But I will now.
