Seeing: 6 Transparency: 6 Moon: 0%
A very small, faint and rich cluster lost in the glare of the 7th magnitude HD185297, small at about 1', partially resolved, references such as Archinal & Hynes list this cluster as 7th magnitude but it appears much fainter, a bit of a surprise once you see it, a bit of higher magnification is helpful
