This faint cluster can be tricky to locate. Start with M44-The Beehive then move down through Gamma then Alpha Canceri. Alpha Canceri forms part of a four star chevron of stars where M44 is just north of where the point would be. This object is only visible in a telescope from inside a city, being too faint for binoculars or the unaided eye. It is also the object used to determine your telescope's limiting magnitude.
