Observing Notes

Harold Corwin

Though Espin describes this as an "Extremely faint nebula within a circle of stars", it is actually a fine cluster about 5 arcmin across. It is indeed within the circle of stars, and makes an interesting object at the eyepiece (it was just barely visible in a 6-inch F7 reflector at about 150X).

See IC 1299 for more.
