Description:
A very nice, large open cluster, covers half the FoV, nicely separates from its stellar neighborhood. I count 8 brighter and dozens of fainter stars in the cluster. There are two especially nice features: one of them is the stellar arc between two brighter stars in the middle of the sketch, and the other one is the nice trapezoid of stars right above this arc. Full moon is getting closer and closer to the cloud-covered horizon preventing me from further observation.
