Description:
At the sharp end of J-like asterism, like a bait on a celestial hook,
stands this beautiful cluster. 5 to 6 * are easily visible, but many
more lurks in the background, just behind the limit of visibility, and
makes the sky looks granular.
The cluster is in Andromeda, but it's easier to find it by starhopping
from Triangle.
