The weather was ugly and galaxy huntin' was out of the question. So, quest for the all messiers was on, and M34 is easy target even if the worst weather. I am not into OC:s, but this is quite a nice one among them. A lot of stars and I could see a bird figure in form of an asterism center of the cluster.
