Description:
Cluster can easily be distinguished from the background stars. It just
fits in eyepiece at 72X. Stars are loosely seperated. There is no
concentration of stars but it can be said that stars are grouped
roughly in triangular shape. I counted approximately 20 stars at
72X. I couldn’t see any star with distinguishable different
colour. All stars were whitish. There was no specific bright star,
most of the stars’ brightness were close to each other.
