This famous cluster demands a huge FoV, that can only be achieved by binoculars. At a NELM of about 5 magnitudes, you may notice it with your bare eyes as a large, diffuse spot. The coathanger shape is formed by 10 shiny stars, and the background is painted grainy by the Milky Way.

A fairly large asterism made up of stars of similar brightness and colour. It clearly separates from its environs, however it is only an asterism and not an open cluster according to the data I could put my hands on. It resembles either a double questionmark, or the flames of a large torch. Sofar I couldn't find any catalogue that listed this object as an asterism, so I decided to use the designation of Lovro 2. However, please not that this is a totally unofficial designation.

Awesome sketches! I love it! I was curious what size and what kind of eyepiece were you using with each sketch? I do see the magnification power with each sketch. Thanks - let me know, email address
