Description:
At ~3¾° N-W of M37. Smaller than M37, this open cluster gives an interesting view. At the beginning of the observation, with averted vision, it takes the aspect of a fuzzy spot with a little stretching in an axis N-S. While observing more attentively, I distinguish 5 individual stars: 4 of the same brightness and a fifth star, north, and of weaker luminosity.
