Missed Mars in the Beehive

Got home too late to see Mars in the Beehive cluster but the seeing wasn't bad even with a nearly full moon. I was able to see a 7.4 mag star near M51 in my 7x50's and even make out a dim M51 with averted vision. If the weather holds tomorrow night it should be good to haul out the 8".
