This is a sparce group of stars generally to the north and east of the 7th magnitude star (SAO 35922) that John Herschel called "the chief of a vL coarse scattered but poor cluster which fills the field." It doesn't stand out well on POSS1, but may look better at the eyepiece where the background of faint stars would not be seen.

John Herschel's position is just over 1 minute of time east of the star, so I suspect a digit error.
