Category: Open cluster.
Class: 
Constellation: CMa
Data: mag 8.6  size 13'
Position: RA 06:16  DEC -18:40
Description:
At ~1¾° S-W of Mirzam (Bêta CMa). The area of Canis Major in which this object is affected by the luminous dome of the city of Disraëli, which makes the observation more difficult. As its size is very reduced (13'), I observe just an object stellar in appearance and this observation remains very dubious.
