| Notes: | In this image B 34 is large enough that it seems to blend into the star field ...a look at the Barnard 'discovery' Plate 7 (browse by Region to 'Cluster Messier 37' ...) indicates why Barnard cataloged this as one of his 'dark spots' ... but my images shows more stars in a smaller field of view, lessening the impact |
