Narrowband

"37" cluster


NGC 1502

Recommended Posts

Had a nice observing session this evening, clear in SE Essex.

One of the objects I revisited was the 37 cluster.  I don't mean M37, but NGC 2169  -   http://oneminuteastronomer.com/5194/orion-star-cluster-ngc-2169/

The stars really do form a "37" and is well worth tracking down.   Click on the pic in the link for a better look.

I do recall visiting that one ,as indeed NGC 1981, a very nice one too. Some nice clusters around there that perhaps just get overlooked with the nebula so popular.  Will watch out more carefully for the 37 shape next time :smiley:

Yep, a lovely sight in a Newt. Not "37" in a refractor though !

Nick.

Thanks Nick, should have mentioned that :smiley:    

The "37" is upside down in a Newt, but mirror reversed in a refractor, SCT or Mak, if used with a diagonal.

Regards, Ed.
