NGC4755 (Open Cluster, in Crux)
Observer: Chris Slee (e-mail: sleech@ozemail.com.au)
Instrument: binoculars Location: Brisbane, QLD, Australia
Light pollution: moderate Transparency: good Seeing: poor
Time: Tue Jul 15 11:30:00 2003 UT Obs. no.: 835
Even though the seeing was poor (mainly due to the full moon), the Jewel Box was quite spectacular, like its name suggests -- a tight collection of bright points. I had to use averted vision to see anything other than a faint blob but, when using this technique, it jumped right off the background sky at me. I think I saw a couple of red points amongs the predominantly blue-white points. Very impressive.
