Description:
117X - A stream of 9.4 to 11.6 mag stars running almost E-W. 2 bright stars
dominate the center of the stream. The cluster is loosely populated with
relatively bright stars and is easy against a fairly weak galactic background.
There is an interesting curved string of stars starting in the east near the
bright center stars, sweeping north and westward in an involute shape. The
cluster consists of 45 stars.
