Description:  Easy to locate.  Approximately 15 - 20 stars of fairly equal
brightness well separated from the surrounding star field.  Some of the
brighter stars form arcs and angled figures in this cluster.  No sign of any
nebulosity mentioned in the Webb book but that’s not a big surprise here at
street light central!  No sign of dimmer background stars.  Two sets of double
stars are obvious in the central portion of the cluster.
