Messier 37

Messier 37

Clear nights this winter from my New Jersey location have been few so when the night of March 9th presented a clear sky I took advantage and did several sketches of open clusters in the Auriga and Gemini region. Submitted here is my sketch of M37 which I believe turned out to be the best sketch of the lot. A beautiful densely packed cluster of stars in Auriga M37 reminds me very much of the open cluster M11 in Scutum.

Location – NJ, USA
Telescope – Orion Astroview 100 Refractor, 32mm Plossl, 2x Barlow, 37.5x
Media – Laptop computer using MS Paint and MyPaint programs
