What’s difficult sometimes, is just trying to
seesomething sometimes without benefit of a photograph, like Mel 15. On a star chart, it can be clearly marked, but thru a telescope and eyepiece one really has to study the star field to see the cluster. It’s like that with some starclusters.
That’s part of what makes looking through a telescope so enjoyable; the thrill of the hunt, and the thrill of discovery. The nebula is pretty, but for me it’s about the hunt and the satisfaction of finding that object that’s plotted so clearly on a star chart. The symbols on charts can be misleading. They are generic.

These nebula’s are staggering big. Stars are tiny bits inside them. Now where did the nebula’s come from?
Stars came after the nebula’s before the big ones start exploding and spreading elements around.

Akhenaton in the middle, doing a pretty good Moon Walk. Michael Jackson is spinning in his grave from jealousy.
And that’s one of my more “normal” interpretations. Heh.
