Observations: I noticed that SKySafari said this was a magnitude 6.3 variable so I passed on downloading the AAVSO finder. I certainly didn't need it as BL Ori really stood out of the field with both red color and brightness. I believe the 6.3 SkySafari is listed.

Observations: Sirius to Gamma CMa with the finder and then three fields east and one field up. It is a pretty OC with many stars of equal brightness. At least 100 stars with a wide range of brightness and possibly a center. Also seen as part of the H400 and Deep Sky Bino programs. Really big and bright. I 3 r Trumpler. Impressive after the last few OCs. It is about 1/3 the fov of the 20 mm ep.

Difficult! Seeing the data on this and NGC 2338 I thought they'd be about the same. Way wrong…this was hard to find in the field. Small and faint! It was only 16 degrees above the horizon so maybe that had something to do with it. Revisit with an OIII filter when I get one. Too small to estimate.
