The Jewelbox Cluster, a bright, large cluster, just visible to the unaided eye, a few dozen 6-8 magnitude members highlight the hundred or more fainter, a few of the central stars exhibit nice colors including a notable red and a gold at the center of the cluster

Good sized @ 10', bright, coarse cluster just southeast of Mimosa, three bright members outline the cluster forming an isoceles triangle, a notable red star at the very center, many people consider the cluster a favorite, I have never been that impressed
