Description:
26mm (35x): 5 * in a 6' long arch. The northmost star in the arch don't belong 
to the cluster (so, 4 stars from the arch are in the cluster, not 2, sorry for 
wrong info in previous report).
19mm (48x): I notice southernmost to be double (Skymap: m=9.9/11.7, d=17"). One 
more star pops up E of the 3-star line 
11.5mm (79x): The double is easily separated. One more star pop up in the S 
part (I see total of 7 stars now)
- 6.5mm (130x): Nothing new.

I see no hazy background or any sign of dimmer stars in the cluster.
