This open cluster is bright enough for you to see it with your naked eye in a transparent sky. It is 4° south of mag. 1.1 Sirius Alpha a) Canis Majoris) and is large enough to be an obvious cluster of stars in 10x50 binoculars. Using averted vision at a dark site, you should be able to resolve up to 10 of the brighter stars against the background glow of fainter members. 0) SEEN IT
