Class: cluster Constellation: centaurus Data: mag size Position: RA : DEC : Description: Bad weather didn't stop me from attempting to get a quick look at this great object. Even with a small scope this object delivers. For a cluster I give this object ten out of ten, and it was worth an observing report. It is spread out over quite a large area. Filled up my field of view. Extremely rich star field. Beautiful to look at. I guess also, that it does appear like coins twinkling at the bottom of a wishing well too. -- Optional related URLs: ** This observing log automatically submitted via the Web from: http://www.visualdeepsky.org/enter-log.html
