Description:
I detected this faint star grouping when I was observing M11. It was at the 
edge of eyepiece view when M11 was in centre. At 34x through my 8-inch 
reflector, it appeared very faint and unresolvable. At 160x I saw a small 
triangle at the cluster's centre. I think this cluster can be best observable 
far from city lights.
