1994-02-12, Die Boord, 11x80 tripod-mounted. The cluster appears as a starlike point with a mottled envelope. Quite easy to see.

1998-01-26/27, 6-inch f/8.6 Newtonian, Stellenbosch Rifle Range site. A delicate vaguely round puff of fine starlight, 6 arcmin across, on a very rich field. Wide range in brightness -- there is one very bright (10th mag) star on the southern tip, then perhaps half-dozen 11th mag, all on a sea of fainter stars. Not well detached from the background. Best seen in the lower-power (52x, even 72x) eyepieces; 108x is too much. Southwest of the cluster lies a near, equal double star.
