Description:
Cluster can be easily distinguished from background stars. It is relatively
small cluster where stars cannot easily be recognized. Most of the stars are
faint but 3 bright stars can easily be distinguished but they are not bright
enough to recognize their colours. Stars are grouped tightly in roughly oval
shape. Where in the near south border there is one bright star. In the south of
this star, stars are grouped in ‘S’ shape, where at the end of this shape there
are two bright stars. This shape of the cluster makes it looks like ‘wild duck’
which is the common known name of M11.
