Suprisngly good open cluster in the Lizard and is better than many of the more famous Cass. clusters. With my binos some stars could be resolved with averted vision and the whole cluster seemed 'L' shaped. According to the Cambridge star atlas, this cluster only contains 40 stars so perhaps it is telescopically a poor cluster. Worth a look with some binos though!
