Open star clusters are some of the most beautiful objects in the sky. And while clusters may look attractive on a computer screen, nothing can compare with the view of a rich and sparkling cluster seen through a wide-field eyepiece. In addition, while most galaxies, for example, need a large aperture to be seen as anything but a hazy patch, open star clusters can be enjoyed in almost any aperture and often a small rich field instrument will give a more aesthetically pleasing view than a large telescope. With Auriga high overhead on February evenings three excellent Messier open clusters are on view including, in the opinion of the Director, possibly the best cluster in the northern sky.
