The telescope is a 7 week old Celestron C 9 1/4 and I was viewing from
my home in San Diego, California (only about 5 miles from the coast
and thus, the fog problem). I realize that M35 isn't really a
challenge to view in a telscope of this size, but for somebody new to
telescopes (or at least to having his own telescope), it is certainly
a challenge to find.

When you are starting out, finding anything on your own is an accomplishment
to be justly proud of!

Congrats!
