This 9th magnitude open
cluster contains about a hundred stars. Don't expect to see much,
however, as this relatively loose cluster lies in a fairly rich
field and most of the stars are faint. In a 6-inch scope, look for a
smattering of only a few 12th-13th magnitude stars. Nonetheless,
this cluster and its surrounding star field is worth the look.
