First point: Anthony has a great picture here!!


Concurred.

It looks to me like the brighter stars in the image are evenly spread over
the field, while the cluster is made up of only dimmer stars. It would
probably be a very difficult visual target.

Yes, 6791 is marginal at my location. I'm thinking that
I will have to drive into the cotton fields to get Be 17. (If
it's possible to see at all with a 10")
