Description:
This part of the sky has even _less_ stars that surrounding area so it looks more like 
dark nebula than open cluster (not the first time for Collinder cluster). I really don't know 
how did Collinder see magnitude 6.3 cluster.

The cluster is 20' S-SE from NGC6716 (in case I was looking for it at the wrong place).
