Description: DO 39: About 25 stars mag. 10... in an irregular and
slightly concentrated cluster. 15' N of IC 4996, which is
visible near the S edge of the field. Somwhat oblong S-N.
Catalogue size and own estimate are the same. OK. Note: Megastar
and DSFG gives Class: IV 2 m n while my own cat. entry  gives
III 1 m n (from SAC database). Personally I'd prefer the III 1 m
n.

IC 4996: A group of bright stars surrounding a 6x-star. The
central sextet(?) is very nice. St10...12. Size 6'-7'.
