At low magnification a faint unresolved patch, with more magnification it resolves into a very rich cluster of faint stars about 5' across, quite the contrast to M35 seen 30' northwest

Very rich! dim, just resolved into innumerable stars with slightly higher power, fan shaped with a field of brighter stars for contrast, M35 is just outside the field 23' to the northeast, a line of slightly brighter stars on the west side, rich star field surrounds
