Description:
At the sharp end of a J-shaped asterism, like bait on a celestial hook,
stands this beautiful cluster. 5 to 6 stars are easily visible, but many
more lurk in the background, just beyond the limit of visibility, and
they make the sky look granular.
The cluster is in Andromeda, but it's easier to find it by starhopping
from Triangulum.
