Observed with an 18" f4.5 NGT. Kron 55 appears as a large speckled haze with an irregular oval shape. The cluster looks grainy as if it is nearly resolving with the 12mm nagler. There is a 14th magnitude star just off the southern edge of the cluster. It is almost 2.5' in diameter and has no central condensation.
