Description:
A smaller cluster than those viewed earlier this evening. The central area
is sort of a stretched-out pentagon or house shape. The major concentration
is in the lower part of the house, and the roof is primarily just the
outline. There is also to the W and N a few stars extending off of the
'house'.
