Description: Not confirmed. A quite rich field at 80x and 50x
but not much denser than other nearby fields. At 160x a very
small clump of stars is suspected between two mag. 11 ones. Only
one star in the knot is easily visible with averted vision,
others being very difficult. Nebulosity suspected. The original
description don't help much. 

Orig. descr J. Herschel (1833): "A cluster found w. the 7-feet
equatorial."

I don't know B. Archinal and Al Schumann saw: in The 'Non-
existent' star clusters of the RNGC the author (B.A.) calls this
cluster "too easy" with a 15-cm reflector.
