Description:
This object appears as a hazy patch through my 10 by 50 binoculars tonight. I can't really make out any individual stars, but it is still a good target for cluster lovers. From the light polluted skies I live in, I can even see this object with the naked eye, it appears as a misty patch in the sky.  This object sits just above the Eta Carina nebula.  Would be great through a low power telescope.
