Since I sold my house in 2020 (big regret), I haven't got any chance to look wonderful winter sky. Mainly because I am too close to Hwy 101, lots of pollution. Tonight, I escape to my Gilroy place to enjoy winter sky.
1. Open cluster M36, all B-type young start, looks cold as winter's night
2. Open cluster M37, B-type stars mixed with a dozen red giant, as ruby mixed with diamonds
3. Famous M1, supernova remnant, west of Tauris tau, little over 8 mag, can be easily seen. first time observed in 2013 used my 16" reflector
4. Orion nebula, so beautiful, you can beat it!
