This is a bona fide cluster. It may have been overlooked since
the stars are relatively faint. Some time ago I determined the center
accurately, and this may be the position in Archinal's book and in
MegaStar, which are themselves linked now database-wise. The center is:
NGC 1605: 4 34 53 +45 16.3 (J2000)
The main body is about 5' diameter. Have a look at this position
using your favorite DSS server with a 0.3-deg field and you'll
see how it sits in the field.
