=====

NGC 1193

17.5" (10/24/87): this faint open cluster consists of an elongated glow with five faint stars mag 14-15 superimposed and a mag 11 star at the west edge.  Located 4' ESE of a wide pair of bright stars (7.7/9.5 at 1.1').  This is a fairly old open cluster with age ~ 4.2 billion years.
