One of the best things about the little red ball wonder is the wide
field of view. I'm now into DSO hopping. The triangle, e.g., from the
Coat-Hanger cluster (CR399) to M73 (globular) to M27 Dumbbell Nebula is
so easy to navigate and seeing the DSOs in miniature is just enchanting!



As the person who sold me this, reminded me, it's M71 in Sagitta, not
M73! Duh! That'll teach me to just sling the numbers around.

In any event, that's a great romp among three diverse DSOs.
