Description:
A very rewarding cluster even to smaller scopes. It appeared well concentrated
with dozens of stars. The brightness of the stars ranges from quite bright to
faint. With my Widefield scope was it difficult to resolve the fainter ones.
Perhaps beside NGC 663 the most beautiful cluster in Cassiopeia.
