Description:
Huge, sparse open cluster, with a background of the sparkling of the faint stars of the Milkyway. Bordered from the North by the 6.2mag star SAO 51632, which makes it easier to find the cluster. It consists around two dozens of bright stars of nearly the same luminosity (between 10 and 11 magnitudes) and colour. For me its most spectacular feature is the shape of a mirrored S North from its centre. Requires little magnification and a very wide field of vision.
