Description

Ever since I star pushed my 10" ATm Dob using a 32 mm gun finder scope to this Lovely open cluster I have always seen a Running Man with the 2 brightest Yellow giants denoteing his feet.
At Mag 3.79 ,on Autumn nights it is sits  naked eye separated and distinct below the Southern Milky Way which streaks from horizon to horizon .This cluster sits at 1300 light years distant and is about 400 light years in diamenter consisting  of 400 stella members.
