NGC 1802

18" (11/18/06): at 115x this Milky Way field appears as a bright, large, scattered group including a couple of dozen mag 10-11 stars.  Most distinctive is a fairly rich 5' string of mag 10 to 13 stars oriented N-S.  The rest of the group is scattered and extends east and southeast ~10' in size.
