My problem with M37 is that the brightest member stars are not as bright
as those in M36. As a result, when looking at M36, I believe there is a
nicer sight through the field of view. In one way, it is similar to M45
where you have have a handful of (very) bright member stars that add an
extra dimension to the whole experience.

Thanks - next time I am out I will give it a look with this in mind. BTW,
this kind of info is why we have a blast at our club's observing events -
sharing favorites, likes and dislikes, how to find stuff, etc. I encourage
anyone who isn't a member or who doesn't participate in an astro club to
consider getting involved.
