Description:
In the neighborhood of the M103 located this tiny but spectacular open cluster. 71x: the object probably looks the nicest on this magnification. It's notable figure is a little line formed by four stars of around the same (11-12) magnitude. 167x: the cluster itself is less spectacular on this power, however one of the four stars splits to a binary of two dim (13m) stars. The OC has an easy position, and is a very interesting, spectacular view, worth taking a look at it.
