Contemporary observations
Auke Slotegraaf
1998
Observing from the 1500 metre plateau of the SAAO observing site in Sutherland, 11x80's shows this cluster as a dim collection of stars, spread out over about half a degree of milky way field. It appears as no more than a somewhat more gathered part of the rich milky way background.
1997 April 14
1997 April 14, 02:00 - 04:00 Jonkershoek. 11x80's tripod-mounted. Huge, vague region of about 20 Milky Way stars in an indistinct grouping.
1997 Sept 03
1997 Sept 03: 11x80 tripod-mounted. 23:00 SAST. Jonkershoek. Very large, sparse cluster, easy to spot but ill-defined.
1998-04-27/28
1998-04-27/28, 11x80 tripod-mounted binoculars, Die Boord. Seeing average, transparency average, dew. "A soft scattered group of very small stars, elongated north-south, measuring 27' x 13.5'. About 20 tiny stars seen. Quite distinct; reminds me of a less dense Praesepe with the naked eye."
