Description: The cluster should fill the field. and should be
centered on the brightest star of the northern group. 

The northern group (in the middle of the field): About 15 stars
with a large range of magnitudes. Scattered but clearly
detached. Stars mag. 10... Diam. 7'.

The southern group (near the SW edge of the field): A bit
fainter than the main group. Most stars mag 12 and a few fainter
ones. Triangular outline. A dozen stars within 6'. 

I think Do 12 includes (and is) these two groups which are
probably asterisms. Quite a nice field though.
