IC 2395 is another of Bailey's clusters. This one has about 15 bright stars scattered over an area of about 10 to 15 arcmin in diameter. There seems to be a cluster of fainter stars behind the bright stars (BH-47 = ESO 210-SC04), but this could simply be the faint stars of the same cluster. A color- magnitude diagram and a proper motion study would sort out the field.
Bailey's position is about 30 seconds of time off, but the cluster is so obvious that it can't be missed.
