Observing Notes
Andrew Cooper
Feb 10, 2013 Hale Pohaku, HI (map)
46cm f/4.5 Newtonian, Deep Violet @ 60x
Seeing: 6 Transparency: 7 Moon: 0%
A modest cluster, not much more than a clump in a rich starfield about 5' across, the NSG describes the cluster as "outstanding", I see no way that word can be used with reference to this cluster, confirmed ID against DSS photograph
