Description:
A double cluster with nearby NGC 1807. This clusters is much dimmer
with more stars. I could counted about 25 stars with many others just
beyond the limits of my seeing conditions. This gave cluster a slight
shimmering effect and I think it made the cluster seem denser than it
actually is. Burnhams gives a count of 50 stars for this cluster.
