Description

Messier 35 is an imposing star cluster in the constellation Gemini. Its visibility is enhanced by NGC2158, which is five times the distance from the main subject. The constellation is noticeable even to the naked eye and is the perfect target for smaller telescopes.

I really liked this star cluster last year, but now I got the chance with the smaller system. HEQ5 is very good under this tube and is ideal for subject selection tests.
