Description:
Very fine cluster about 15' diameter, remember from a previous night with darker
skies, and it was a lot better.  Dominated by 2 pairs of bright stars, North eastern
most of the four is a tight touble.  To the north is a pretty open cluster, NGC 654,
both fit nicely into the 22 panoptics 64x field of view.  Definately worth visiting.
