Description:
At 100x (20mm Ultrascopic), NGC 225 consists of 30 stars in a 15' area. The
cluster is very open with little ventral concentration. Half of the stars are
of a similar bright magnitude. A prominent chain of 5 bright stars and 1 very
dim star meanders N/S along the cluster's eastern border. Just west of this
chain, most of the remaining stars form a triangle, with the apex pointed to
the south.
