19 20 53 +37 46.3
V = 9.5;  Size 16

13.1": fairly faint, moderately large, many faint stars are resolved over haze 
with averted, low surface brightness.  This is one of the very oldest open 
clusters, along with Be 17, with an age of 9 to 11 Gyr!

8": moderately large, very faint hazy patch like a low surface brightness 
galaxy, no resolution.
