Finding M22 Cluster
The M35 Cluster sits at the base of the Milky Way looking south. It sits snuggly just below and to the east of the Constellation of Ophiuchus. Other excitements in this area include M28, Trifid Nebula M20, Lagoon Nebula M8 and slightly to the north sits the Omega Nebula M17 and the Eagle Nebula M16. Imaging Like most clusters this one was simple to image. If you are using an Alt-Az tracking mount then you will easily get this cluster looking nice in exposures of 20 to 30 seconds. You will need to take longer exposures to draw out some of the fainter stars.M22 Globular
