46cm f/4.5 Deep Violet
I missed this one at first as I was searching at lower magnification looking for a bright cluster, my data showed a magnitude of 6.5. But this bright magnitude represented the central star only, the remainder of the cluster is much dimmer and clustered in tight around the central star, easily missed at lower magnification. An interesting small cluster of a dozen or so stars tightly grouped around a bright double (Struve 446)
