Description:
A well named object that is so extensive, I broke out my lowest power and still couldn’t get it all in the FOV. Ib fact, I could pan back and forth in both RA and DEC to try to see it all. There are chains and scatterings of brighter stars over a haze of lesser stars. Several colors of stars were visible.
