Description

I have always enjoyed this target and for my second attempt this year I used a William Optics 110 to give a greater magnification. Of course, as you look at star patterns you begin to think that you see an additional image. For the record I can only see the outlines of constellations with a computer overlay. However, on this image I began to see the clusters as eyes and at the 7 o'clock position what looks to like a beak. Hopefully, I have not been seeing too many angry birds.
