The only notable stars at the coordinates are two pairs of 8-9th magnitude stars in a rough 12' long north-south line, a nothern pair separated by 2', the other pair at the south end separated by 3', four more 9-12th magnitude stars are scattered across the field, coarse, resolved, 15' in diameter, a poor cluster but a pretty field
Archinal & Hynes: Skiff (1994) has shown this group of stars is not a true cluster
