Description:
A cluster with nebulousity. In low power without any filter, there were no signs of the nebulousity present, but it was a nice little cluster nonetheless. Near the N end there is a little arc of 6 very close stars, covering about 1.4 a circle. With the filter I can see some signs of the nebulousity around the stars in this area.
