IC4665 - The "Summer Beehive" Open Cluster in Ophiuchus
From SEDS.ORG:
Discovered
by De Chéseaux 1745-1746.
IC
4665 is one of the brighter Milky Way clusters missing not only in the
Messier Catalog, but also in the NGC, because it is so loose and
coarse. Nevertheless, this cluster in Ophiuchus is a good object for
binoculars or wide-field telescopes.
