Very windy and cool enough to warrant winter coat, hat and gloves.
I spent part of this evening searching for the stars of Cancer, a constellation I hadn't found before/ While trying to locate the stars visually, I noticed a faint fuzzy in the area. With the binoculars, I found this beauty that completely filled my FOV. No evidence of any true centre, other than some of the stars being slightly closer together.
