M36 (NGC 1960) is just north-northeast of gamma Aurigae (beta Tauri), barely in the same binocular field: binoculars.
If you move slightly to the northeast both M36 and M37 are in the same view: binoculars.
Now if you move a bit to the northwest, M38 comes into view with M36: binoculars.
The three clusters M36, M37, and M38 offer interesting comparisons, due to their different ages. |
