At 77x with the 24mm eyepiece in the 368mm reflector, Webb's Horseshoe appears as a large, oval-shaped cluster of stars whose concentration of stars are near the outer edges giving the cluster a ring-like appearance. One end of the cluster is populated with faint stars, which would give the cluster a horseshoe shape in a smaller scope.
