At ~5° S-E of Capella. NGC 1664 does not offer an exciting view. At the beginning of the observation, I notice the star TYC 2906-152-1, magv = 7,4, in easthern part of the cluster. The object is of low brightness but rather wide with averted vision, with a round shape. I am not able to separate stars individually.
