    The smallest open cluster

    NGC 1931 is I believe the smallest open cluster to be found in backyard scopes. It has some associated nebulosity and definitely worth finding. I saw it last night and saw 4 stars in the nebulosity in my light polluted back yard. I'm wondering how many individual stars can be seen through other scopes in darker skies...
