    GregR, you wrote:
    "A little research turned  up that it's the Beehive Cluster (AKA M44 or NGC
    2632) - and sure enough, it  really does look like a swarm of bees. Well worth
    a look if you haven't seen it  before - easily resolvable with binoculars (and
    supposedly with the naked eye as  well, but apparently not for my location),
    and actually better viewed that way  than with a telescope because of the
    width of the cluster."

    Ah, you need  to go Milky Way browing later this summer! Now that you've seen
    the Beehive,  you'll be amazed at all the little clusters you can find with
    an average pair of  binoculars, mostly nestled along the Milky Way. There are
    some real beauties  through Scorpius and Sagittarius.
