Description

This ancient open cluster is large, faint and misterious. It is one of the nothernmost deep-sky objects in the sky for a small telescope. In contrast to its faintness it seems to be inhomogenoius - many tiny stars twinkle on its surface in this nice field of view. I like this object very much.
