Data: mag +9  size 2´-3´
Position: RA 21:43  DEC c+57:
Description:
At x40 half ring of +10- +12? mag stars surround 
a glittering cluster. Yes, they actually glow and 
glitter with my good seeing tonight - the cluster 
that is. The glittering mass resolves into stars 
I can't count. The outer mass has a small, butterfly
glow to it with averted vision. x100 brings it a 
little closer and without a filter is an impressive
sight. Try finding it c. 4 degrees NE of Pi-1 Cygni.
