Abstract

This delightful cluster, "which is estimated by Sir John Herschel to be formed of from 50 to 100 stars," most of which partake of well marked and varied colors, forming an object that is scarcely perceptible to the naked eye, but when under proper optical influence it is one of the most brilliant and interesting objects in the southern sky.
