Gemini's Shoebuckle Cluster (all night)
On January evenings, the stars of Gemini are climbing the eastern sky to the east of Orion. The large and bright open star cluster known as Messier 35, NGC 2168, and the Shoe-Buckle Cluster sits just north of the bright toe-stars
Tejat Posterior (Mu Gem), Propus (Eta Gem), and 1 Gem. The cluster's loose collection of stars are scattered over nearly half a degree, with the smaller, fainter, and richer cluster NGC 2158 on its western edge. M35 is visible with unaided eyes in a very dark sky, and looks terrific in binoculars and
widefield telescope eyepieces.
