Description

M35 has been identified as one of the top 10 Winter objects. I had previously imaged M35 and, while it is an interesting open clutter, I would not have ranked it among the top 10 winter objects.
After further review, I found that M35 is very close to the Globular Cluster NGC 2158. Close enough to image in the same frame. The M35 Open Cluster - NGC 2158 Globular cluster do make an interesting combination.
