Description:
25x: I see just 5.7-mag star (that obviously doesn't belong to this
9-mag cluster) and one more faint star close to the bright one. I'm not
sure if even this faint one belongs to the cluster.
48x: Density of the fainter stars is just a little bit higher than in
the surroundings. In the vast area of the cluster I see just 3 to 4
faint stars with direct vision and 5 to 10 with averted vision.
Not much of a cluster :(. Just 1 degree to the W is equally sparse open
cluster NGC6604 in Serpent.
The cluster was 27 deg above the horizon.
