Binotrons/HH,carbon star

[jetstream]

Crisp and clear right now at -35c, no wind yet and with ice crystals precipitating out of the air reducing transparency a hair.

The 15" was enlisted with the Binotron 27's/32mm TV plossls to go for a Horse Head try with no filter. Using the 1.3x on the powerswitch Alnitak was brought into the FOV and swung over to the Flame neb which showed segmented so onto the HH. It showed weakly in the binos but it did show Out with the binos in with the 20mm Lunt HDC- the HH appeared better in this EP and that much better with the UHC.

Observing the Double Cluster I noticed a really nice golden (carbon?) star above a dark lane in the upper cluster, next to the core - anyone know what star this is?

Thanks Shaun, is there a gold one next to it? Stellarium doesn't name it but I think this is the right place-thanks btw!
