In my 20 inch telescope "Teutsch 148" actually looks quite interesting at 270x. First of all, the cluster appears very small. With a size of 1.2' it appears just twice
as large as the disk of Jupiter. One can see two to three brighter stars in front of a grainy background, from which five more stars (fainter than 16mag)
flash out in moments of good seeing. The "halo" appears uniform with a low surface brightness.
