Images Of Cancer Of The Tonsils



The constellation of Auriga is an interesting area because there are several open clusters are easily observable. On December 26, pointed it at the three best known: M36, M 37 and M 38.

M 36 is located N easily the line between Zeta Aur. and Alnath. At first glance it receives a round tag that looks grainy. More detail can be seen inside the cloud four stars arranged in a triangle.





















M 37 is a bit S of the imaginary line joining Zeta Aur. and Alnath. It is also easy to find and is located in a lower density of stars, so I took a little less do the drawing. In this case the first thing that strikes attention, compared to M 36, is the largest and that despite being one of magnitude 5.6 seems weaker. Yet vision is clearly and directly as a round tag that could be mistaken for a globular cluster.

Then I looked at M38, a little more to the north of M37, but I did not distinguish despite having it located in the visual field. This is a cluster that I have hanging for my next trip to the darkest places.

no doubt that this constellation is a good option if you want to spend some time looking through binoculars, so I encourage this and, better yet do some drawing.
