Observing Notes
Andrew Cooper
Oct 20, 2023 Waikoloa, HI (map)
20cm f/6 Newtonian, Cave Astrola @ 136x
Seeing: 6 Transparency: 7 Moon: 0%
Identity not certian, a modest clump of stars and partially resolved glow enriches the galactic starfield just a few arcminutes east of the listed position (5h48' 30°13'N), a few 11-12th magnitude stars punctuate a general 3' diameter glow in a rich galactic starfield, the rich red carbon star FU Aur visible 25' north
Archinal and Hynes list this as a true cluster with coordinates matching the clump observed above with the note from Skiff "Low contrast against the MW", have updated ObsDB to match
