You can find this sparsely populated, large open cluster near the star ß Mon in Monoceros. In its center shines the star HR 2344 (HD 45546), which is a mag 5 star - therefore it is visible with the naked eye even from moderately dark places. The cluster has many members brighter than 10m, so it looks nice even through an ordinary finderscope, and because of its size and sparse density you shouldn't go for powers higher than 50-75x when looking at it.
