In this episode, Dave Eicher invites you to observe the open star cluster M35, which is located at the foot of the twins constellation. It is easy to identify also through binoculars and makes a great view through a telescope. In addition, you will see another cluster open nearby, NGC 2158, which is smaller and weaker, but seems more condensed. So, go out early and see them both.
