Located M39: Open Cluster in Cygnus
I located the M39 open cluster tonight with my 10x50 Monocular.
I have to admit, I'm having more luck locating objects with the Monocular than with my telescope.
I looked first between Deneb (Cygnus) and Alderamin (Cepheus) for p1 Cyg and p2 Cyg and then looked to the right of p2 Cyg. Hey presto, there was the M39 open cluster, just visible with my Monocular.
I also used Stellarium for the first time tonight instead of the Celestron Sky X software that came with the scope. Stellarium is much easier to use.
