Only southernmost stars, together with its close companion,
and nearby double (sep. ~ 20"), belongs to the cluster,
together with other, significantly dimmer, stars.
Here is the description:
26mm (35x): I notice the southernmost star to be double.
11.5mm (79x): The double on the south of the cluster is clearly visible, but
that is all I see.
I see no hazy background or any sign of dimmer stars in the cluster.
