Description:
A larger, scattered cluster than the other NGCs I looked at tonight. I
counted 35 stars. There is a rather bright star at the southwestern edge and
another to the northeast. The first is blue and the second yellow, providing
a touch of color. There is a fairly wide-spaced pair near to the second
star.
