Description:
Around 17o from Polaris towards Capella. This cluster, too big even
for binos, is very scattered. Looks sharply divided on E and W part.
W part consist of 5 brighter stars (mags 5.4 to 6.5), while 5 * in E
half, clearly dimmer, are of mags between 6.2 and 7.3. I checked all
of these magnitudes later on a computer.
