Description:
With the RFT and a 22mm Panoptic that give about 40X, this cluster is
just a fuzzy spot in the Milky Way.  I saw it as faint, pretty large,
not brighter in the middle and has three stars resovled.  Using an
8.8mm eyepiece will resolve 6 stars and make the fuzzy cluster larger
and more obvious.  Never a showpiece with the 6 inch.
