Description:
A nice cluster, if a bit small in this scope. At the higher power, filled about 1/2 the FOV. Round shape, with somewhat of a bull’seye shape. There is a core of about 6 bright stars with a surrounding ring of bright stars, and a scattering of faint stars behind all this. I made about 20 of the brighter stars.
