A vague enhancement of the background galactic starfield, almost 5' in diameter, unresolved, on the western end of a 5' line of four 10-11th magnitude stars runing east to west, not a convincing cluster
Archinal & Hynes list this as a true cluster, survey imagery is a bit more convincing than visual
