Description:
Middle-sized open cluster, nicely separating from its background, which looks grainy because of the miriads of unseen Milkyway stars. This rich object contains several tentacles of stars. To the West of this OC I see an asterism of bright stars, one of its members can be seen on the topmost part of the sketch.
