Object(s): NGC 6604
Category: Open cluster.
Class:
Constellation: Ser
Data: mag 6.5 size 2'
Position: RA 18:18.1 DEC -12:14
Description:
In Serpens Cauda, at ~ 1½° N of M16. Open cluster of strange aspect; at the beginning, I saw nothing, except a variable star of magv ~ 7, MY Ser. After a few minutes, I distinguish between 6 and 7 stars near MY Ser. By using the averted vision much, I notice a small star accumulation surrounding MY Ser, which gives a diameter much larger to NGC 6604. A kind of object where the averted vision improves its aspect clearly.
