As I remember, our search for the constellation Sculptor was not an
easy task. Finding our first constellation, Camelopardalis, the
Giraffe, high in the north is also a difficult task. The
constellation harbours only stars fainter than magnitude 4.
There’s no real object of interest to study with the naked eye.
Those with binoculars can try open cluster CR 464. The cluster has
50 members and its size is 4 times the diameter of the moon, 120’.
The total magnitude of the group is 4.2. If you know that, you can
spot stars of magnitude 7.5 with the naked eye in a very dark area.
You would think this cluster is visible to the naked eye, but be
aware that the larger the area of the object, the dimmer it seems!
