Description:
At 135x (15mm Panoptic, 30' true field), Czernik 2 is a large, 8' cluster with
dozen direct vision members.  Averted vision adds a dozen more.  Although the
Cz 2 is not well separated from the field, it is notable as a group since most
members are quite faint.  There is some centralization.
