Description:
Reminds me of the shape of the Rosette nebula, with dark globules in the center,
radiating chains and designs. Easy to let the immagination play around
with this one. There is an orange/yellow star dominating
the center, alone. There is a smaller fainter cluster to the south, only
15'-20' away, only slightly resolved at 64x. They both fith nicely
together in the 22 panoptic, and make a beautiful apir.
