3/18 - What a clear night!

Freezing by the time midnight rolled around, but definitely clear!

Failed:

• Whirlpool Galaxy (M51) - didn't expect anything in NYC...
  
• M41, Open Cluster in Canis Major - weird that I couldn't find this... (Update: I'm going to blame the star chart on this one. Comparing the chart I had with me to others I looked at, I probably still should have found M41, but the location on the chart was a bit misleading.)
  
• Tried for Lulin... totally not happening!

Observed:

• Hyades (Collinder 50)
• Pleiades (M45)
• Orion Nebula, Trapezium (M42)
• Beehive Cluster (M44)
• M35 (Open Cluster in Gemini)
• NCG 2158 (Open Cluster in Gemini)
• Saturn
• Mizar & Alcor
• Mizar A & B

What a great and freezing night! (Oh, and I finally brought a chair with me. Makes a huge difference in comfort and in seeing.)
