Finally, a small break in the clouds.

Took a little while to locate. Large and lovely cluster with a noticeable concentration. At a certain angle, it appears to have the shape of a tree, with clusters of branches growing outward.

I attempted to seek out IC 1848 and Crumpler 34 also, but a front of clouds starting approaching from the north.
