This is an easy object to find but can be difficult to view in binoculars. It is a star cluster of much larger apparent size than the Pleiades. It can be seen with the naked eye as the “V” of Taurus and apparently contains Aldebaran (which is really a foreground star). It is centred on RA 4h 27.0m Dec +16 deg 0 min. As it is about 5 degrees across, it is a challenge for binoculars with high magnification and narrow field of view. It contains about 200 stars of which about 25-30 should be visible under normal conditions.
