Description:
Very scattered group of around 15 * without a trace of nebulosity or 
fainter stars. All the * are of similar magnitude. Not very impressive.

The cluster is midway from NGC1647 to Elnath (Beta Tauri). Not to be 
mistaken for nearby NGC1647 because those 2 clusters couldn't be more 
different!
