Description

I left this as a fairly wide field because of Diadem in the upper right, and the small mystery cluster in the lower right. I can see it on the star chart I use, but it's not identified. Hopefully plate-solving the image here on AstroBin will clear it up. If not, I'm sure somebody out there knows.

Oops. Mystery solved. It's NGC 5053.
